Office Hysteroscopy for abnormal bleeding

The primary purpose of office hysteroscopy is to evaluate patients with abnormal uterine bleeding resistant to medical management or to perform a panoramic visualization of the uterine cavity.  In addition, filling defects identified by ultrasound or hysterosalpingography can be confirmed or mapped by hysteroscopic visualization.

There are some patients that are able to have in-office hysteroscopy instead of scheduling this procedure as an outpatient hospital surgery.  To determine if you are able to have this done in the office, make an appointment to discuss this with Dr. Anoina. 

The advantages of having this procedure in the office is less cost, less anesthesia and avoiding the hospital setting.  Oral sedation and analgesics as well as local anesthesia can be utilized to make you more comfortable during the office procedure.
