Hysteroscopy

What is Hysteroscopy

At Imprimis IVF, we understand the importance of accurate diagnosis and effective treatment when it comes to reproductive health issues. That’s why we offer hysteroscopy, a cutting-edge medical procedure that enables our IVF specialists to visually examine the inner workings of the female reproductive system.

Hysteroscopy is a minimally invasive procedure that allows our specialists to carefully inspect the inside of the uterus, cervix, and vagina, providing a clear and detailed understanding of the reproductive organs.

During hysteroscopy, a flexible hysteroscope with a high-definition camera and light transmission system is inserted into the uterus. This provides vivid, real-time images of the uterine cavity and surrounding reproductive anatomy, enabling our IVF specialist to identify irregularities and develop a personalized treatment plan.
