Hysteroscopy

The timing of hysteroscopy depends on the purpose of the examination and the patient’s clinical condition. In many cases, it is best performed after menstrual bleeding has ended, when the uterine cavity can be assessed most clearly. The exact day is determined by the physician based on the characteristics of the cycle and the purpose of the procedure.
 

The duration of hysteroscopy depends on the type and extent of the procedure. Diagnostic hysteroscopy is usually shorter, but if additional interventions are performed, the procedure may take longer. The total visit may also include preparation and post-procedure observation.
 

Hysteroscopy may be performed under anesthesia depending on the type and extent of the procedure and the clinical situation. The approach is determined by the physician, taking into account the patient’s condition, coexisting problems, and the purpose of the procedure.

The timing of the next menstrual period after hysteroscopy may vary depending on the type and extent of the procedure and the body’s individual characteristics.
