When should hysteroscopy be performed?

Hysteroscopic surgery is used because it can more intuitively and accurately identify the location of the disease. Therefore, in many cases when the basic examination methods cannot find the actual cause, hysteroscopic examination is of great use. However, many people still don’t know what diseases can be detected by hysteroscopy, so today I will introduce to you the reasons why hysteroscopy is needed.

1. Abnormal uterine bleeding requires hysteroscopic surgery. There are many reasons that can cause abnormal uterine bleeding, such as menorrhagia, uterine intrauterine polyps, uterine cervical fibroids, endometrial cancer, etc. Sometimes it is difficult to clearly understand the cause of abnormal uterine bleeding by visual observation or other examination methods. At this time, hysteroscopy can be used to deeply understand the situation inside the uterine cavity, so as to find the actual cause of bleeding. In particular, patients with endometrial cancer and uterine polyps should undergo hysteroscopy to determine the specific location and condition of the uterine tissue or cancer tissue.

2. Patients with habitual miscarriage or infertility may undergo hysteroscopic surgery. There are many reasons that can cause habitual miscarriage or infertility, such as intrauterine adhesions, uterine wall tuberculosis, etc. These conditions can be easily detected through hysteroscopy.

3. After the patient has undergone a diagnostic curettage or a uterine probe examination, if there is any abnormality in the uterus, such as uterine stenosis or uterine deformation, then hysteroscopy can be used for further examination. This type of examination can detect abnormalities inside the uterine cavity, because the hysteroscope relies on a fiber camera to observe the condition of the patient's uterine cavity very intuitively.

The above is a detailed introduction to the situations in which hysteroscopic surgery is needed. Many women suffer from gynecological diseases, but the actual cause has not been found for a long time. At this time, why not consider using hysteroscopy to find the actual disease and then provide targeted comprehensive treatment. Hysteroscopic surgery is performed under anesthesia and will not cause much pain during the examination. It is a highly accurate and relatively simple examination method.
