Hysteroscopy is the inspection of the cervix and uterine cavity by inserting an optical device into the uterus.
Hysteroscopy can be performed for diagnostic purposes including investigation of the causes of infertility as well as of abnormal vaginal bleeding, diagnosis of congenital abnormalities or for therapeutical purposes including resecting myomas or polyps which have been detected earlier, and operating congenital deformities.
It may take 15 minutes or 1 hr depending on the procedure and it is performed under local anesthesia.
