hysteroscopy

Hysteroscopy is a way to look inside the uterus. A hysteroscope is a thin, telescope-like device that is inserted into the uterus through the vagina and cervix. It may help a doctor diagnose or  treat a uterine problem.

Hysteroscopy is minor surgery that may be done in a doctor's office or operating room with local, regional, or general anesthesia. In some cases, little or no anesthesia is needed. The procedure poses little risk for most women. Hysteroscopy may be used for diagnosis, treatment or both.

Hysteroscopy can be used to diagnose some problems in the uterus such as:

  • Abnormal Uterine Bleeding
  • Infertility
  • Repeated Miscarriages
  • Adhesions
  • Abnormal Growths
  • Displaced IUDs
