Is hysteroscopy a surgery?

Female friends should not feel unfamiliar with hysteroscopy, because women who are aware of their physical health will go to the hospital for hysteroscopy regularly. Hysteroscopy is a widely used detection method in modern medicine, which can accurately detect some diseases inside the female uterus. But is hysteroscopy a minimally invasive surgery?

Hysteroscopy is a relatively advanced device used in modern medicine. It can make a clear diagnosis of diseases in the uterine cavity and perform minimally invasive surgical treatment on the diseased area.

Hysteroscopic surgery can use general anesthesia or local anesthesia according to the needs of different conditions. Some patients can even use no anesthesia and only use analgesics. General anesthesia is more suitable for some short hysteroscopic surgeries. During the operation, the patient will not feel any pain, and general anesthesia is relatively safe. The disadvantage is that it may be a little more expensive.

Most intrauterine surgeries are minor operations that take a short time and cause little pain to the patient. If only analgesics are used, there will be some pain during the operation, but patients can generally bear it. Local anesthesia is more suitable for use during hysteroscopy.

Before performing hysteroscopic surgery, a preoperative examination should be done to check whether there are any factors that may affect the surgery. If the patient undergoes hysteroscopic surgery, general anesthesia is recommended. Most patients can fully recover within one month after the hysteroscopic surgery, but they should still pay attention to follow-up examinations after recovery.

Does hysteroscopy require hospitalization?

Since hysteroscopy can accurately examine and treat many gynecological diseases, it is now being used more and more widely. Before performing hysteroscopic surgery, it is also a critical issue to find out whether hospitalization is required for hysteroscopic surgery.

Usually, if hysteroscopy is used for examination and embryo retrieval, hospitalization is not required. If hysteroscopic surgery is used to treat other diseases, such as uterine fibroids, hospitalization for observation will be required.

Hysteroscopic surgery needs to be performed 3 to 7 days after the menstrual period is completely over. Because during these 3 to 7 days, the amount of endometrial mucus and bleeding is relatively small, it is easy to observe the situation in the uterine cavity, and a hysteroscope can be used to see it more clearly. If hysteroscopic surgery is performed during this time period, the overly thick endometrium will not enter the abdominal cavity from the fallopian tube. Before hysteroscopic surgery, the patient's blood pressure, pulse and body temperature need to be measured. The doctor needs to have a detailed understanding of the patient's cardiopulmonary condition, and the cleanliness of the guide must also meet the requirements of hysteroscopic surgery.

Hysteroscopic diagnosis has a very high accuracy. It not only updates and develops diagnostic and treatment techniques, but also makes up for the shortcomings of general diagnostic and treatment methods.
