Flexible Hysteroscopy

Reading Time: < 1 minutes

Key Takeaways
  • Allows your doctor to look directly inside your uterus.
  • Detects abnormalities like fibroids, adhesions, or polyps.
  • Quick, in-office procedure with minimal downtime.

A flexible hysteroscopy provides a clear, real-time look inside your uterus—offering answers that other imaging tests can’t.

During this simple procedure, your physician gently inserts a thin, flexible tube with a light and camera (a hysteroscope) through the cervix into the uterus. This allows direct visualization of the uterine cavity, making it easy to identify structural issues that could cause abnormal bleeding, miscarriages, or infertility.

Common findings include polyps, fibroids, scar tissue, or inflammation. In some cases, small abnormalities can even be treated during the same visit.

Most patients describe the sensation as mild cramping, and you can return to normal activities right after.

At Reproductive Partners Fertility Center – San Diego, flexible hysteroscopy is performed in-office using state-of-the-art technology to provide precise, detailed images with the least amount of discomfort.
