Hysteroscopy for abnormal menstrual bleeding
| Hysteroscopy is a procedure used to treat abnormal menstrual bleeding. If menstrual bleeding lasts longer or is heavier than usual it is considered abnormal. |
There are many reasons for abnormal menstrual bleeding, including benign growths within or around the uterus, menopause, hormone imbalance, weight loss or gain, heavy exercise, stress, illness, or the use of drugs.
Surgery
This procedure uses a hysteroscope which is a thin, telescope-like instrument that is inserted into the vagina. It is passed through the cervix and into the uterus, enabling your physician to look inside the uterus. Hysteroscopy may help the doctor find the cause of abnormal bleeding.
Although hysteroscopy is used to diagnose certain conditions, it may be used to correct them as well. If an abnormal condition is detected during a diagnostic hysteroscopy, an operative hysteroscopy can be performed at the same time and the need for a second procedure is avoided. Hysteroscopy is usually performed in the operating room under general anesthesia, and it may be used instead of "open" abdominal surgery.
