Hysteroscopy

Hysteroscopy is a medical procedure in which a special instrument, a hysteroscope, is inserted into the uterine cavity. Using this instrument, the doctor can examine the inner surface of the uterus, assess the condition of the endometrium and identify possible pathologies.

Hysteroscopy is performed in a gynecological office using a special device - a hysteroscope. This device consists of a thin flexible tube with a lens at the end. The tube is inserted into the uterine cavity through the vagina, and the lens allows the doctor to see everything that is happening inside the uterus.

The hysteroscopy procedure is performed under local anesthesia. The patient is in a gynecological chair, her legs are bent at the knees and spread apart. The doctor inserts the hysteroscope into the uterine cavity and begins the examination. During the procedure, the patient may experience some discomfort, but this usually goes away quickly.

After the procedure is completed, the doctor removes the hysteroscope from the uterine cavity and performs the necessary manipulations. If required, he can perform a biopsy - take a small piece of tissue for examination.

Advantages of hysteroscopy:

– Allows you to diagnose uterine diseases at an early stage.
– Allows treatment of uterine diseases without surgical intervention.
– Does not require long recovery after the procedure.
– Safe for women’s health.

However, like any medical procedure, hysteroscopy has its contraindications. For example, it is not performed in the presence of inflammatory processes in the genital organs, during pregnancy and lactation, or in the presence of acute infectious diseases.

Hysteroscopy is a method of examining the inner surface of the uterus using a special optical device - a hysteroscope. Hysteroscopy allows you to diagnose various diseases of the uterus and its appendages, as well as perform minimally invasive operations on the pelvic organs.

Hysteroscopy is performed for various diseases of the uterus and appendages. For example, for infertility, miscarriage, bleeding, painful menstruation, endometriosis, polyps and other diseases. Hysteroscopy can also be used to diagnose the causes of obstruction of the fallopian tubes, adhesions in the pelvis, endometriosis and other pathologies.

When performing hysteroscopy, a special optical device is used - a hysteroscope. It is a flexible tube at the end of which there is a camera and a lighting device. The hysteroscope is inserted into the uterine cavity through the vagina or cervix using special instruments.

The hysteroscopy procedure is performed under local anesthesia. The patient is in a supine position with her legs apart. The doctor inserts a hysteroscope into the uterine cavity, examines its inner surface and performs the necessary manipulations.

After hysteroscopy, minor pain in the lower abdomen may be observed, which disappears within a few days. You may also experience vaginal discharge, which may be bloody or mucous. In some cases, you may need to take antibiotics after the procedure to prevent infection.

In general, hysteroscopy is a safe procedure that allows you to diagnose and treat various diseases of the uterus. However, before it is carried out, it is necessary to undergo an examination and consult a doctor.
