This document discusses evaluation of the uterus, including several methods a doctor may use to examine the uterus such as vaginal ultrasound, sonohysterogram, and hysteroscopy. Hysteroscopy involves using a small telescope inserted through the vagina to directly view the inside of the uterus. It can be used for both diagnostic and operative procedures. During a hysteroscopy, the doctor may diagnose and treat conditions such as polyps, fibroids, and scar tissue that could interfere with fertility. Risks are generally low but can include infection, bleeding, or rarely puncturing the uterus.
