Hysteroscopy Cost in India

Hysteroscopy is a procedure used by a doctor to examine the cervix and the uterus [1]. The procedure is used to diagnose and treat the causes of abnormal bleeding. Hysteroscopy is done using a device called a “hysteroscope”. It is a thin tube attached with a camera and light which is inserted into the vagina to examine the uterus and the cervix. The process of hysteroscopy can be both diagnostic and operative.

Diagnostic hysteroscopy is used to identify the problems in the uterus and the cervix. It can also be used to confirm the results of other tests like hysterosalpingography (HSG), ultrasound and MRI scans. Also, diagnostic hysteroscopy can be used with other procedures like laparoscopy. Diagnostic hysteroscopy offers better visualization and accurate diagnosis as compared to other non- invasive techniques.

Operative hysteroscopy is used to correct the problems that are found during the diagnostic hysteroscopy. If any abnormalities are detected during the diagnostic procedure, an operative hysteroscopy can be performed at the same time [2]. In an operative hysteroscopy, thin surgical instruments are inserted through the hysteroscope to correct the problems.
