What is Hysteroscopy?
Hysteroscopy is a minimally invasive gynecological procedure that uses a thin telescope-like instrument called a hysteroscope to examine the uterine cavity. The hysteroscope is gently inserted through the cervix without any external incision, allowing your gynecologist to diagnose and, when necessary, treat abnormalities within the uterus.
This procedure can be performed for both diagnostic and operative purposes and is commonly recommended for women experiencing menstrual disorders, infertility, or recurrent pregnancy loss. Hysteroscopy is widely regarded as one of the most accurate methods for evaluating the uterine cavity.
