How to perform hysteroscopy and laparoscopy, 3 steps to perform hysteroscopy and laparoscopy

For hysteroscopy and laparoscopy, anesthesia is first required. Local anesthesia and general anesthesia are available. Local anesthesia is suitable for women with higher pain tolerance. Then the cervix needs to be dilated. Women with childbearing experience need a larger dilator, while women without childbearing experience will need a slightly smaller dilator. Then the hysteroscope can be used for examination. If lesions are found, the hysteroscope will take photos and record them.

Hysteroscopy is a common examination method for gynecological diseases, but many women do not understand hysteroscopy and laparoscopy, and even have a certain psychological fear of this kind of invasive examination. In fact, it is normal to have a fear of entering the body for examination, and hysteroscopy does cause slight damage, but the damage is not serious. So how is hysteroscopy performed?
1. Drug anesthesia <br/>Because hysteroscopy will cause certain pain to the examinee, anesthesia is generally required. You can choose general anesthesia or local anesthesia. General anesthesia will cause sleepiness throughout the whole process, while local anesthesia is performed in a conscious state. If you are not sensitive to pain, you can choose local anesthesia, which is more cost-effective. If you are very afraid of pain, it is best to use general anesthesia, otherwise local anesthesia will cause tension in the uterine cavity, which is not conducive to the examination.
2. Dilate the cervix <br/>After the anesthesia ends, you can use a dilator to dilate the cervix. The size of the dilator used by each person is different, and this is generally adjusted and selected according to the physical condition. Generally speaking, older women with childbearing experience need to use a larger dilator, while younger women without childbearing experience need to use a slightly smaller dilator.
3. Hysteroscope examination <br/>After all the preparations are done, you can do the hysteroscope examination. Hysteroscope examination is to insert the camera system and light source system into the uterine cavity through the vagina, so that the doctor can directly see the internal conditions of the uterine cavity and directly find the location of uterine lesions. When the lesions are found, the hysteroscope will take pictures and record them, and the final results will be summarized on the report.
