What is "hysteroscopy"?
Hysteroscopy is a medical procedure that uses a thin, flexible tube with a camera, called a hysteroscope, to look inside the uterus. The hysteroscope is inserted through the vagina and cervix into the uterus. This allows doctors to examine the inside of the uterus to diagnose and treat various conditions, such as abnormal bleeding, polyps, or fibroids. The procedure can also be used to take tissue samples or remove abnormal growths. Hysteroscopy is often done in a hospital or clinic setting and helps doctors get a clear view of the lining of the uterus and decide on the best treatment.
Examples
