Hysteroscopy is a method of directly visualising the inside of the uterine (womb) cavity by using a thin telescopic camera. It is used to investigate and treat different conditions of the uterus such as polyps, fibroids, septum or scarring inside the uterine cavity.
Hysteroscopy can be performed either under anaesthetic (deep sedation) or while being awake just with painkillers and/or local anaesthetic.
