Office Hysteroscopy is a diagnostic procedure used to examine the inside of the uterus. It helps diagnose and treat various uterine conditions, such as abnormal bleeding, polyps, fibroids, and adhesions. The procedure is performed in our office using a hysteroscope, which is inserted through the cervix into the uterus.
During the procedure, a saline solution is used to expand the uterus, allowing the gynecologist to get a clear view of the uterine cavity. The hysteroscope transmits images to a monitor, enabling the gynecologist to identify any abnormalities. If necessary, small instruments can be passed through the hysteroscope to remove tissue samples or treat the condition.
Office Hysteroscopy is typically recommended for women experiencing abnormal uterine bleeding, infertility issues, or recurrent miscarriages. It is also used to diagnose and treat uterine abnormalities. Your gynecologist will determine if you are a suitable candidate based on your medical history and symptoms.
Before the procedure, your gynecologist may recommend a mild sedative to help you relax. The procedure itself is usually well-tolerated and takes about 15 to 30 minutes to complete. After the procedure, you may experience mild cramping and spotting, but these symptoms usually resolve quickly.
