Hysteroscopy is generally considered a minimally invasive procedure rather than a major surgery. It involves inserting a thin, lighted tube called a hysteroscope through the vagina and cervix into the uterus to diagnose or treat conditions like fibroids, polyps, or abnormal bleeding.
Hysteroscopy without anesthesia can cause varying levels of discomfort, from mild cramping to sharp pain. The experience depends on the individual and the procedure's complexity.
The purpose of a hysteroscopy is to examine the inside of the uterus to diagnose or treat conditions like abnormal bleeding, polyps, fibroids, or uterine abnormalities. It can also be used to investigate infertility or to remove intrauterine devices (IUDs).
