If you’re experiencing heavy menstrual periods, bleeding between periods or other GYN problems, a hysteroscopy can help. This in-office test lets us view the endometrial cavity and helps us identify the cause of your problem. The procedure is performed when a thin telescope, known as a hysteroscope, is inserted through the cervix and into the uterus to exam the endometrial cavity for fibroids, polyps and other problems. The test is performed under local anesthesia, with minimum discomfort. Most women can return to their normal activities immediately.
Avoid Major Surgery with Operative Hysteroscopy
Hysteroscopy can also be used to remove abnormal growths. During operative hysteroscopy, we use a hysteroscope with channels through which we can insert very thin instruments which can be used to remove polyps, cut adhesions and perform other procedures that once required full blown surgery. In fact, operative hysteroscopy may offer an alternative to hysterectomy.
