Hysteroscopy

Hysteroscopy procedure involves examining cervix, inside of uterus and openings to the fallopian tubes with camera systems similar to, yet finer than those used in laparoscopy. Hysteroscopy procedure can be performed between days 6 to 12, the first day starting with day 1 of your menstruation. Practices such as vaginal cleansing, speculum and teneculum, which would cause discomfort and pain during the operation, are not used before the procedures classified as office hysteroscopy. Approximately 95% of these procedures do not require sedation or general anesthesia. However, you always have the chance for receiving anesthesia in the event that you feel pain during the procedure. Therefore, you are recommended to arrive for the procedure without eating or drinking anything as of 24:00. In scope of office hysteroscopy, diagnoses and treatments of infertility, irregular menstruation, cervical canal and uterine gland diseases can be performed simultaneously.

Considerations before hysteroscopy

As hysteroscopy is generally performed with local anesthesia, an entirely empty stomach is not required. Unless otherwise stated by your physician, you should merely wait in the waiting room after applying to the secretariat of Ward 81 operating rooms unit on the stated time. You should not be menstruating during hysteroscopy. Consult to your physician in the event of an overlap.
