The hysteroscopy is a medical procedure to evaluate the uterine cavity and the endocervical canal. This test can help detect abnormalities inside the uterus such as polyps, fibroids, adhesions, septate uterus, etc.

During this test a narrow instrument with a light attached to it known as a hysteroscope is placed through the cervix allowing the doctor to examine all the way up to the uterus and the endometrial cavity.

In some cases an operative hysteroscopy may be required on an outpatient basis in which instruments are passed through the hysteroscope to treat any abnormalities found in the uterus.
