Diagnostic Hysteroscopy
A hysteroscopy passes a thin camera through the cervix to examine the inside of the uterus.
Reasons for examination
It may help investigate unusual bleeding, suspected polyps or concerns about the uterine cavity. Imaging and symptoms help determine whether it is needed.
Comfort and consent
Ask about pain relief and anesthesia options before the appointment. Tell the team about previous painful examinations and any possibility of pregnancy. You can ask questions or request a pause during an outpatient examination.
Results and recovery
A biopsy may be taken when indicated. Cramping or light bleeding can occur afterward. Follow aftercare instructions and report fever, heavy bleeding or increasing pain.
