Hysteroscopy is a medical procedure that lets doctors look inside the uterus to check for any issues. A thin, lighted tube called a hysteroscope is inserted through the vagina and cervix into the uterus, allowing the doctor to see the uterine lining clearly on a monitor. This helps diagnose or treat problems within the uterus.

Why is it Done?
Hysteroscopy is used to investigate and treat conditions such as:
Abnormal bleeding (heavy periods or bleeding between periods)
Fibroids or polyps (non-cancerous growths)
Scarring or abnormal tissue
Structural issues in the uterus
Miscarriages or infertility concerns

Symptoms That May Require Hysteroscopy
People may need a hysteroscopy if they have:
Painful, heavy, or irregular periods
Unexplained bleeding
Recurrent miscarriages
Fertility problems

Treatment and Recovery
Hysteroscopy can be used to both diagnose and treat these conditions. The procedure is often quick, and most people can go home the same day. Afterward, some may experience mild cramping or spotting, which usually goes away in a few days. In some cases, hysteroscopy can remove fibroids, polyps, or scar tissue, which may improve symptoms and even increase chances of pregnancy if infertility is a concern.
