The difference between hysteroscopy and hysteroscopy

Nowadays, many diseases need to be diagnosed by some medical equipment, especially some gynecological diseases. For gynecological diseases, the commonly used medical devices are colposcopy and hysteroscopy. Of course, the two are different. Let us take a look at the differences between colposcopy and hysteroscopy, as well as their respective examination items.

Colposcopy, also known as electronic gastroscopy, is a diagnostic instrument used in gynecological clinical medicine. It is mainly used to diagnose some diseases of women's cervix, or changes and diseases of sexual organs. The most critical technology is image magnification technology. The images collected by the instrument can be magnified 10 to 60 times on the screen, so it can detect many lesions that are invisible to the human eye, especially some very subtle lesions in the epithelial cells of the cervix or on the surface of the sexual organs. Through colposcopy examination, early diagnosis can be obtained, which greatly improves the patient's treatment and subsequent recovery.

Hysteroscopy is also a gynecological diagnosis and treatment technology, but it is minimally invasive and more advanced. The hysteroscope is composed of a series of instruments and equipment. It is a chemical fiber light source electronic endoscope, which mainly includes a hysteroscope, power supply, light source system, perfusion system and imaging system. When used, the front end of the hysteroscope is inserted into the uterine cavity, and the patient is diagnosed based on the enlargement effect. The most commonly used conditions are exudative conditions and lesions of the uterine cavity.

Based on the detailed introduction above, we can understand the difference between colposcopy and hysteroscopy. The main examination of colposcopy is to see whether there are any changes in the vaginal wall and cervical opening, but the main observation target of hysteroscopy is the uterus. The most direct difference is that colposcopy cannot reach the uterus, so changes in the uterus cannot be observed. When you feel there is something wrong with your uterus, the examination that should be performed is a hysteroscopy, not a colposcopy.

The above is a detailed introduction to the differences between colposcopy and hysteroscopy, as well as the differences and distinctions in the examination items. Based on the above introduction, we hope that everyone can appropriately choose the treatment method they need when they encounter some diseases that require colposcopy and hysteroscopy. I hope the above professional knowledge can help everyone.
