Hysteroscopy is a minimally invasive gynecological procedure that allows a doctor to examine the inside of the uterus using a thin, lighted instrument called a hysteroscope. It can be used to investigate abnormal uterine bleeding, infertility, recurrent pregnancy loss and certain abnormalities within the uterine cavity. When necessary, treatment can also be performed during the same procedure.

**Hysteroscopy surgery in Thane involves examining the uterine cavity through the vagina and cervix, without requiring a large abdominal incision. The hysteroscope transmits images to a monitor, allowing the gynecologist to assess the uterine lining and identify abnormalities.**
Depending on the patient’s symptoms and medical history, hysteroscopy may be recommended as a diagnostic procedure or as a treatment procedure. The exact approach depends on the condition being evaluated, the findings during the procedure and the patient’s individual healthcare needs.
A gynecologist may recommend hysteroscopy when other investigations suggest a problem inside the uterine cavity. Common reasons include:
Hysteroscopy may provide a more direct view of the uterine cavity than imaging alone. In selected cases, abnormalities can also be treated during the same procedure.
There are two broad applications of hysteroscopy: diagnostic and operative.
