Hysteroscopy

What Is Hysteroscopy?

Hysteroscopy is a minimally invasive procedure used to evaluate and treat the inside of the uterus. A thin, lighted camera (hysteroscope) is inserted into the uterus, allowing direct visualization. This technique enables both diagnostic and surgical interventions.

When Is Hysteroscopy Performed?

• Abnormal uterine bleeding
• Uterine adhesions (Asherman’s syndrome)
• Removal of polyps and fibroids
• Diagnosis and treatment of uterine abnormalities
• Investigation of recurrent miscarriages
• Removal of foreign objects in the uterus (e.g., intrauterine device – IUD)

How Is Hysteroscopy Performed?

The procedure is typically performed under local or general anesthesia. The hysteroscope is inserted through the vagina into the uterus, providing a detailed view of the uterine cavity. Diagnostic hysteroscopy is a quick procedure, while surgical interventions may take slightly longer.

Advantages of Hysteroscopy
