Hysteroscopy

Hysteroscopy is a diagnostic and treatment technique for inspecting and treating uterine diseases. Hysteroscope is a small probe-like instrument that is inserted into the uterus through the vaginal opening and the health of the uterus is inspected. This tube-like probe has a video camera in it that helps a doctor to get a better view of the uterus.
