What is hysteroscopy?
Hysteroscopy is a modern diagnostic and treatment method that allows direct visualization of the inside of the uterus. Using a hysteroscope, a thin, illuminated camera system, intrauterine structures are examined in detail, or surgical interventions are performed if necessary. This method is used in the diagnosis and treatment of intrauterine polyps, fibroids, adhesions, and congenital structural problems.

How is a hysteroscopy performed?
Hysteroscopy is performed vaginally, through the cervix, using special instruments.
Steps to follow:
- Preparation: The cervix is opened under anesthesia.
- Imaging: The hysteroscope is advanced into the uterus, and the camera allows visualization of the inner surface.
- Assessment: The structures within the uterus are examined in detail.
- Intervention (if necessary): Fibroids, polyps, or adhesions are removed in the same session.
🧬 Thanks to the thin hysteroscopes used at FertiJin, the procedure is much more comfortable, and most patients are discharged the same day.
