A hysteroscope is a medical device that is used to examine the uterine cavity. It is a thin flexible tube that is inserted into the uterine cavity through the vagina. A hysteroscope has a camera at the end that allows the doctor to see the inside of the uterus and its contents.
The hysteroscope is used to diagnose various diseases of the uterus, such as polyps, fibroids, endometriosis and others. It can also be used to monitor the progress of pregnancy and to remove intrauterine objects such as embryos.
The hysteroscope insertion procedure is usually performed under local anesthesia, which allows the patient to feel comfortable during the procedure. After inserting the hysteroscope, the doctor can perform various manipulations, such as biopsy, removal of polyps or embryos, as well as monitoring the growth and development of the fetus during pregnancy.
The benefits of using a hysteroscope include diagnostic accuracy, reduced risk of complications, and faster recovery after surgery. However, like any medical procedure, hysteroscopy has its risks and side effects, so before undergoing the procedure, it is necessary to conduct a thorough examination and discuss all possible risks with your doctor.
