Sometimes, before the procedure, you may be given a medication to help you relax. Sometimes general or local anaesthesia may be used to block the pain.
Hysteroscopy can be done in a doctor’s office or at the hospital.
A speculum is inserted into your vagina. The hysteroscope is then introduced and gently moved through the cervix into your uterus. Gas ( carbon dioxide ) or fluid ( salt water ) will be put through the hysteroscope into your uterus to expand it.
Your doctor can view the lining of your uterus and the openings of the fallopian tubes.
If a biopsy or other procedure is done, small instruments will be passed through the hysteroscope.
