Reasons for hysteroscopy to examine the endometrium

For women, conceiving a baby is a very happy thing. Therefore, for the baby’s first “home”, the health of the uterus is very important. After all, it is directly related to whether or not you can get pregnant. As for the examination of the uterus, the most intuitive one is hysteroscopy. It uses the front part of the scope to enter the uterine cavity and magnify the observed area. So what is the purpose of hysteroscopy to examine the endometrium? Let's talk about the reasons for hysteroscopy to examine the endometrium.

Endometrial biopsy is indicated for:

1. For the diagnosis of endometrial tuberculosis, samples should be obtained before menstruation.

2. To understand whether ovulation has occurred and whether the corpus luteum is healthy, the sample should be obtained within 6 to 8 hours of the onset of menstruation or 2 to 3 days before menstruation. If you are infertile, you must use contraception that month.

3. Understand the cyclical changes of the endometrium and obtain samples at different stages of the menstrual cycle. For those with incomplete endometrial exfoliation, samples should be obtained on the 5th day of the menstrual period.

4. Endometrial cancer samples can be obtained at any time.

5. Observe the therapeutic effect of endometrial hyperplasia.

Abnormal uterine bleeding, menorrhagia, oligomenorrhea, irregular menstrual cycle, uterine fibroids, uterine polyps, displacement of IUD, infertility, habitual miscarriage, follow-up examinations after spontaneous or induced abortion, abnormal ultrasound images, long-term lower abdominal pain, artificial conception and preoperative evaluation of in vitro fertilization, etc. are all indications for hysteroscopy.

Hysteroscopic technology can be used to directly examine lesions in the uterine cavity, locate and collect lesion tissue for examination. The diagnosis is accurate, timely, comprehensive and intuitive, and cancer can be detected early. Fallopian tube catheterization can be performed to check the patency of the fallopian tubes and clear blockages in the interstitial part of the fallopian tubes. It is accurate and effective. Hysteroscopic surgery can remove the endometrium, submucosal fibroids, endometrial polyps, uterine septum, intrauterine adhesions and foreign bodies. It has good efficacy, does not require laparotomy, has little trauma, less bleeding, less pain and quick recovery.

The uterus is the "palace of the fetus" and the uterine cavity is the room where the fetus will live for ten months. Conception is easy only when the uterine cavity is normal. For example, there was an infertile woman who had failed artificial insemination and in vitro fertilization. A hysteroscopy revealed a fibroid in the uterine cavity. After the doctor performed a surgical hysteroscopy to remove it, she became pregnant naturally.

The best time for hysteroscopy is from the end of menstruation to before ovulation. There is no need for anesthesia during the examination, so there is no need to fast or be hospitalized. You can go home after the examination. You don’t need to rest or take any supplements the next day. You can just go about your normal daily activities.
