Hysteroscopy
A thin telescope that looks inside the uterus through the cervix — no cuts.
How It Works
- A hysteroscope is passed through the cervix
- Fluid gently expands the cavity for a clear view
- Instruments through the scope remove polyps, fibroids or a septum
Benefits
- No abdominal incision
- Usually a day-care procedure
- Diagnosis and treatment in one sitting
Accuracy
- Direct view of the uterine cavity, including small lesions that ultrasound can miss
- Allows targeted biopsy
Why It Is Better
- More precise than blind D&C for sampling the lining
- Treats the cause of bleeding or infertility directly
