Hysteroscopy is a procedure to diagnose and treat problems of the uterus, such as abnormal uterine bleeding. During this procedure, Dr. Carmichael or Dr. Johnson visually examine the inside of your cervix and uterus with a thin, flexible viewing instrument called a hysteroscope.

The hysteroscope contains a light and telescope-like lens that transmits images of your uterus onto a screen. Dr. Carmichael or Dr. Johnson can pass miniature surgical tools through the hysteroscope to collect a small tissue sample (a biopsy) or perform treatment, such as removing growths.
