Is hysteroscopy the same as laparoscopy?

Hysteroscopic surgery refers to the use of uterine expansion materials to expand the uterine cavity, and to observe the physiology and clinical manifestations of the cervical canal, internal cervical os, uterine body and bilateral fallopian tube openings through an optical fiber endoscope inserted into the uterine cavity, so as to facilitate the visual and accurate sampling of diseased tissue and send it for pathological examination. In addition, surgical treatment can also be performed under hysteroscopy.

Hysteroscopic surgical treatments include endometrial polyps, uterine cervical fibroids or intramural fibroids, intrauterine adhesions, uterine septum, uterine wall removal, foreign bodies in the uterine cavity, or bilateral fallopian tube catheterization, injection and sterilization under the correct guidance of hysteroscopy.

What are the common questions to know about hysteroscopic surgery?

1. Choose a regular hospital

If the doctor and hospital selected during hysteroscopy are not professional, some pathogens will immediately invade the human body and cause infection.

2. Choose the best time

If you want to perform a hysteroscopic surgery, you need to arrange your time effectively before the examination. Choosing the best time to perform the hysteroscopic surgery can allow you to achieve better results. Generally, it should be done just after the menstrual period or before ovulation, because the vaginal discharge during this period is less and thicker, and hysteroscopy is not likely to cause injury. However, it should be noted that hysteroscopy must be avoided during the menstrual period, as hysteroscopy during the menstrual period will not only damage the uterus, but also cause infectious symptoms.

3. Pay attention to diet

After hysteroscopy, women should have a reasonable diet, pay attention to their diet as much as possible, eat some lighter dishes, eat less spicy and irritating foods, and also pay attention to avoid eating some cold foods, so as to avoid irritating the cervix and causing inflammation.

4. You cannot have sexual intercourse with your spouse

For women who have sexual intercourse, they need to undergo a period of recovery after hysteroscopy and cannot have sexual intercourse immediately. Having sexual intercourse immediately will aggravate cervical damage due to collision and violence, and eventually cause infectious symptoms.
