Laparoscopy - Gynecology

The female reproductive organs include the uterus or the womb where the foetus is implanted, and the ovaries where the eggs are created and stored. Other structures that are associated are the fallopian tubes, cervix, vagina, vulva, and clitoris. A slight trouble in any of these could lead to various troubles such as infertility, unusual bleeding, etc. and hence finding the root cause is very important. To determine that each and every organ of the female reproductive system is working properly, the hysteroscopy is done.

What is Hysteroscopy?
Hysteroscopy is a diagnostic test as well as an operative procedure that is done with the help of a thin instrument called a hysteroscope. It is a telescope-like instrument with a camera and a light on top of it that is inserted right through the vulva, vagina and the cervix to check into the uterus. The test is run to check if there is any problem inside the uterus or on the lining of the uterus.
