Keyhole examination of the uterus - hysteroscopy
Hysteroscopy is a keyhole examination of the uterus.You’ll need this examination if we suspect there’s a polyp, a fibroid, or too strong growth of the lining of your uterus. The examination lasts 10-15 minutes and you’ll have local anaesthesia. What happens is that a lighted telescope (hysteroscope) is inserted via the vagina and cervical canal. You can expect a bit of discomfort after the examination, like period pain. You can also expect light bleeding for a day or two.
