The anesthesia used for hysteroscopy surgery can be local, regional, or general:
Local anesthesia involves numbing just a part of the body for a short time.
In regional anesthesia, a larger area of the body is numbed for a few hours.
As a result of general anesthesia, the entire body is numbed for the duration of the operation.
Depending on where the hysteroscopy surgery will be performed (hospital or doctor’s office) and whether other procedures will be performed at the same time determines the type of anesthesia to be used. In the case of general anesthesia, you will not be allowed to eat or drink for a certain amount of time before the hysteroscopy.
