Hysteroscopy

Hysteroscopy is an advanced technique which provides a way for your Gynaecologist to look inside your uterus. A hysteroscope is a thin, telescope-like instrument which is inserted into the uterine cavity through the vagina and cervix. This tool  helps a gynaecologist to diagnose and treat a uterine/endometrial problem.
Hysteroscopy is minor surgery which is performed either in your doctor's office or in a hospital setting. It can be performed with local, regional, or general anesthesia—sometimes no anesthesia is needed. No cutting or incision is given in vagina or cervix while inserting the thin hysteroscope There is little risk involved with this procedure for most women.
