1- Hysteroscopy:
What is a hysteroscopy?
A hysteroscopy is a medical device that enables a gynecologist to see inside the uterus for diagnosis or treatment. This is done by inserting a thin tube connected to a camera through the vagina to reach the uterus. The doctor can then see everything inside the ovaries, fallopian tubes, and uterus.
Types of hysteroscopy:
1- Diagnostic hysteroscopy:
It is performed to diagnose some gynecological problems such as severe bleeding, severe pain in the pelvic area, or problems of delayed pregnancy and childbearing.
2- Therapeutic hysteroscopy:
It is performed after diagnostic hysteroscopy to treat the problem that has been discovered. It is usually done immediately after the diagnostic hysteroscopy to save time.
What is the best time to perform a hysteroscopy?
The best time to perform a hysteroscopy is one week after the menstrual cycle to enable the doctor to see inside the uterus accurately and clearly. The patient must fast for 8 hours before the procedure.
Hysteroscopy step by step:
1- A mild sedative is given to the patient to help her relax. Some cases require general anesthesia due to their severe fear of the procedure.
2- The cervix is dilated.
3- The endoscope tube connected to the camera is inserted through the vagina to reach the uterus.
4- Carbon dioxide gas is pumped to expand the uterus and remove adhesions.
5- The doctor performs the required procedure.
