A diagnostic hysteroscopy is a procedure in which the doctor uses a hysteroscope to look at the inside of your uterus. A hysteroscope is a thin tube with a tiny camera. The uterus is the muscular organ at the top of the vagina.
Babies develop in the uterus, and menstrual blood comes from the uterus.
You may have a hysteroscopy to see if there is a problem with your uterus that could cause infertility. Examples of growths are polyps or fibroids. Your doctor may also look for a double uterus or septate uterus. In a septate uterus, a thin band of tissue separates the uterus into two compartments. You should ask your doctor about these choices.
