Hysteroscopy is a medical procedure used to examine the inside of the uterus. It is also commonly used in the treatment of infertility.

Hysteroscopy can be used to diagnose various factors that contribute to infertility. For example, anatomical abnormalities such as polyps, fibroids, septums, or adhesions within the uterus can cause infertility. Hysteroscopy can be used to diagnose and, when necessary, treat these issues.

Hysteroscopy can also be used to examine the endometrial lining. The thickness or thinness of the endometrial lining is important in diagnosing and treating problems such as endometrial cancer.

During a hysteroscopy, a doctor inserts a thin tube called a hysteroscope through the cervix and uses a camera to visualize the inside of the uterus. Small instruments can also be used to remove abnormalities such as polyps or fibroids if needed.

Since hysteroscopy is an invasive procedure, it rarely comes with complications. However, some women may experience mild cramping, bleeding, or a risk of infection.

In conclusion, hysteroscopy is a valuable tool for diagnosing and treating infertility.
