Hysteroscopy is a medical procedure that allows doctors to examine the inside of the uterus using a thin, lighted tube called a hysteroscope. This instrument is inserted through the vagina and cervix, providing a clear view of the uterine lining. Hysteroscopy can help diagnose and treat various conditions, such as uterine fibroids, polyps, and abnormal bleeding. The procedure can be performed in a doctor's office or a hospital, often with local or general anesthesia. It is generally safe, with minimal risks, and can provide valuable information for further treatment options. Recovery is usually quick, allowing patients to return to normal activities shortly after.
