What is a Hysteroscopy?
Hysteroscopy inserts a hysteroscope (thin, lighted camera) through the cervix to visualize the uterine cavity. It can be diagnostic or operative, removing polyps, fibroids, or adhesions under direct vision.
Local or general anesthesia is used based on the complexity.

- Mild cramping for 24 hours
- Light spotting or discharge for 1 week
- Avoid intercourse and tampons for 48 hours
