Frequently asked questions
Helpful answers before your visit.
What happens during hysteroscopy?
A slender camera passes through the vagina and cervix into the uterus. Fluid gently opens the cavity so the clinician can inspect it and, when planned, treat certain findings.
Is anesthesia needed?
The setting and comfort plan depend on whether the procedure is diagnostic or operative and on your individual needs. This is discussed before scheduling.
What is recovery like?
Mild cramping and light spotting can occur. Follow the office instructions about activity and call if you have severe pain, fever, heavy bleeding, or other concerning symptoms.
