Hysteroscopy is a medical procedure where a doctor uses a thin, lighted tube called a hysteroscope to look inside a woman’s uterus (womb). It’s commonly done to diagnose or treat problems like abnormal bleeding, fibroids, polyps, or to check for the cause of infertility or miscarriages.
The doctor will explain the procedure to you and discuss any risks or benefits. You will be asked to sign a consent form, which means you agree to the procedure.
In brief, a hysteroscopy is a minimally invasive procedure that allows a doctor to look inside the uterus to diagnose and sometimes treat conditions. It’s usually done on an outpatient basis, so you can go home the same day.
