How Hysteroscopy is Performed

The doctor first inserts a hysteroscope through the vagina and cervix into the uterus. Using the small camera at the end of the hysteroscope, the doctor can observe the interior of the uterus. If any issues or abnormalities are detected, they can be treated or biopsied using small instruments inserted through the hysteroscope.

 

 

 

Hysteroscopy is a diagnostic and therapeutic procedure in women's medicine used to examine the inside of the uterus and the cervical canal. This procedure is performed using a thin, flexible instrument called a hysteroscope, which is equipped with a camera and light source. The device is inserted through the vagina into the uterus, allowing the doctor to directly view the interior and diagnose or treat any issues or conditions.
