How long does a hysteroscopy take?

The invention of hysteroscopy provides a benefit to the majority of female friends, because hysteroscopy can use an endoscope to effectively observe the corresponding pathological changes inside the female uterus. More importantly, hysteroscopy is not only a way to detect diseases, but also a way to treat certain uterine diseases. To some extent, hysteroscopy is a minimally invasive gynecological surgery. How long does it take to perform a hysteroscopy?

First, the preoperative preparation time. The main time of hysteroscopic surgery is consumed in preoperative preparation. For example, before a woman undergoes hysteroscopic surgery, she must first determine the location and severity of the uterine lesions, and then formulate a hysteroscopic surgery plan. Because a simple hysteroscopic operation does not take too long, it is only about one or two hours at most, and usually does not exceed half an hour. Compared with traditional surgery, hysteroscopic surgery is much shorter. But all of this is based on accurate preoperative preparation. If preoperative preparation is not done well, hysteroscopy may result in surgical accidents.

Secondly, the postoperative recovery time of hysteroscopy should be determined according to the severity of the specific condition. For example, if uterine fibroids are benign and not large, then after hysteroscopic surgery, you usually only need to rest for about seven days to recover. However, if it is endometriosis or malignant uterine fibroids, since the treatment is more difficult, it will inevitably cause some trauma to the uterus, which will cause the recovery time to be prolonged, and it will take about one or two months to recover.

The above is an introduction to "How long does a hysteroscopic surgery take?" From the above introduction, we can see that the time for hysteroscopic surgery is not too long, generally about a few tens of minutes. However, before performing hysteroscopy, detailed preoperative preparation is required to ensure that the operation proceeds smoothly. After hysteroscopy, women must rest as much as possible so that the uterus can recover as soon as possible and avoid certain sequelae.
