What it is, why it's done, and what to expect
A hysteroscopy is a simple procedure that allows a doctor to look inside your uterus (womb) using a thin telescope-like camera called a hysteroscope.
Diagnostic Hysteroscopy — To diagnose problems. Operative Hysteroscopy — To treat problems.
Diagnostic hysteroscopy is usually a short procedure, while operative hysteroscopy may take longer depending on the treatment. It is considered a safe and effective procedure, and most hysteroscopies are performed as outpatient procedures.
Hysteroscopy is commonly offered for abnormal bleeding or fertility issues. It is a safe and effective way to diagnose and treat many common womb problems.
