What Is a Hysteroscopy?

A hysteroscopy is a minimally invasive procedure that examines the uterus to diagnose and treat any uterine-related health problems. The surgeon inserts a hysteroscope—which is a small, camera and light-equipped device—into the uterus through the vagina. The hysteroscope projects detailed images of your uterus onto a nearby screen for the surgeon to evaluate.

When Is a Hysteroscopy Needed?

Hysteroscopies are performed for the following purposes:

To detect abnormal uterine bleeding due to an irregular period (based on frequency and flow volume)

To check for uterine abnormalities, like fibroids, polyps, or cancer

To take tissue samples (biopsies)

To remove scar tissue remaining from an infection or previous surgery

To diagnose the cause of a miscarriage or infertility

To locate an intrauterine device (IUD)

To remove endometrial lining

To access fallopian tubes for sterilization
