A hysteroscopy usually takes 10 to 20 minutes and may take 30 to 60 minutes for treatments and other procedures.
A simple hysteroscopy, which involves entering the uterine cavity through the uterine opening with a fiberoptic speculum and observing the uterine cavity and fallopian tubes for lesions, is usually completed in 10 to 20 minutes. Hysteroscopy is a minimally invasive examination with a relatively thin speculum, which causes relatively little damage to the human body and usually does not cause any special sensation.
If a woman finds endometrial polyps, uterine adhesions, submucosal fibroids and other diseases during the examination, they need to be removed under hysteroscopy, which will also take relatively longer, usually 30 to 60 minutes.
The doctor will inform the patient of the time and precautions for the hysteroscopy before the examination.
