Hysteroscopy
Hysteroscopy is a procedure that uses a narrow tube similar to a telescope (3-5 mm in diameter) to visualize the uterine cavity. This narrow telescope is inserted through the vagina and cervix into the uterine cavity. The pathology of the uterine cavity is visualized on the screen and removed or a sample is taken from the uterine cavity, and the fallopian tubes can also be evaluated.
About the service
Hysteroscopy is performed under general anesthesia and lasts approximately 15-60 minutes. You must not eat for 6 hours or drink for 4 hours before the procedure. After the procedure, you may experience pulling pains in the lower abdomen, slight bloody discharge from the genitals (up to 10 days), as well as side effects of anesthesia (e.g., nausea, vomiting). Painkillers may be taken if necessary. After the procedure, you should not drive, lift heavy objects, or take a hot bath.
