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 should ask your doctor about these choices. Plan for your care and recovery after the procedure, especially if you are to have general anesthesia. Follow instructions provided by your doctor. No special preparation is needed for local or regional anesthesia. If you are to have general anesthesia, eat a light meal, such as soup or salad, the night before the procedure.
