Hysteroscopy

A hysteroscopy is a test to look inside a woman's uterus, using a thin tube with a small camera inside it.

A hysteroscopy can be done to find out why you may be having certain symptoms such as unexplained vaginal bleeding. It is performed under general anaesthetic and is generally a very quick procedure and you will be able to return home after a couple of hours.

It can help diagnose or treat many different health issues, including:

  • very heavy periods or bleeding between periods
  • bleeding after the menopause
  • fibroids or polyps
  • problems getting pregnant or repeated miscarriages
  • removal of a coil (IUS or IUD) if the threads are missing

A sample of tissue (biopsy) is taken during a hysteroscopy if required to help aid diagnosis.
