What is Hysteroscopy?
How Hysteroscopy is Performed
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.
