A hysteroscopy is a procedure, using a tool called a hysteroscope to examine the lining of the uterus and identify, diagnose or treat abnormalities.

A hysteroscopy may be performed to determine the cause of:

• Abnormal bleeding
• Bleeding after menopause
• Infertility

It may also be used to diagnose and remove fibroids or polyps and find and reposition an intrauterine device.
