What is a Hysteroscopy?
Hysteroscopy is a minimally invasive diagnostic and therapeutic procedure used to
examine the inside of the uterus. It involves the insertion of a hysteroscope—a
thin, lighted tube equipped with a camera—through the vagina and cervix into the
uterine cavity. This technique allows gynecologists to visualize the uterine lining,
identify abnormalities, and perform surgical interventions if necessary.

Structural abnormalities like septate uterus can be detected and treated.
