Office Hysteroscopy
Office hysteroscopy is a minimally invasive procedure used to diagnose and treat conditions of the uterus. Using a thin, lighted tube with a camera (hysteroscope), inserted through the vagina and cervix, doctors can directly visualise the uterine lining, identify abnormalities, and address certain issues during the same session. It is performed without the need for general anaesthesia or admission to an operating room, making it a convenient and efficient option.
