HYSTEROSCOPY

Hysteroscopy is a procedure that is used to diagnose and treat conditions related to the uterus and cervix. The conditions include abnormal uterine bleeding, abnormal endometrial thickening, bleeding after menopause, and infertility. During a hysteroscopy, the doctor inserts a hysteroscope (a thin tube with a light on the end) into the vagina, through the cervix, and into the uterus. Hysteroscopy helps the doctor take the sample for later testing if anything abnormal is found.
