A diagnostic hysteroscopy is a procedure typically done in the office to evaluate the uterine cavity (lining of the uterus). A very thin, lighted flexible tube containing a video camera called a hysteroscope is inserted through the cervix and into the uterus. The hysteroscope is introduced through the vagina. The uterus is filled with fluid so the uterine cavity can be visualized.
This procedure is typically done in the office and takes only a few minutes. Patients can experience some cramping during the procedure. Taking ibuprofen before the procedure can help reduce the cramping. Usually once the procedure is done, the cramping goes away.
