What tests should be done before hysteroscopy?

Hysteroscopic and laparoscopic surgery has a very wide range of uses in the treatment of gynecological diseases. It can also be used to diagnose diseases inside the uterine cavity and is a relatively complete diagnostic and examination method. However, it must be noted that the use of hysteroscopy to treat diseases or examine symptoms must be within certain conditions. In other words, a thorough physical examination is required before undergoing hysteroscopy. Next, let me introduce to you what examinations should be done before hysteroscopy.

1. Routine blood examination. This type of test is very simple to perform, and the test results have very important clinical manifestations. Routine blood tests can be used to determine whether the patient has local or systemic infection, whether the patient has blood diseases, or whether the patient has severe anemia. Routine blood tests can also determine whether the white blood cell count or the number of monocytes in the patient's blood is significantly increased, thereby indirectly determining whether there are signs of infection. Through this kind of examination, we can understand the patient's physical condition and fully assess whether the patient is suitable for hysteroscopy.

2. Electrocardiogram. This examination is also indispensable, because intravenous anesthesia is required before hysteroscopy, so it is necessary to have a basic understanding of the patient's cardiac function before undergoing hysteroscopy. If an electrocardiogram is found to show abnormalities, such as conduction block or tachycardia, the cause must be further investigated and the hysteroscopy should be postponed.

3. Check female secretions. This type of examination is also called a routine leucorrhea examination. It can determine whether the patient's vagina and cervix have acute inflammation. If there is inflammation, surgical treatment must be performed only after the inflammation is under control.

The above is a brief introduction on what examinations should be done before hysteroscopy and laparoscopy. I hope that through the above introduction, more friends can understand the examination methods before hysteroscopy and laparoscopy. Although hysteroscopy is not a major surgical treatment, it is important to note that all surgical treatments have certain risks. In order to minimize the risks of surgery, it is recommended that patients must strictly follow the regulations to undergo various examinations before undergoing surgery.
