Hysteroscopy is a highly used examination device in obstetrics, which has many advantages. It can not only screen for many diseases, but also provide treatment during the screening process, which can be said to be killing two birds with one stone. However, hysteroscopy surgery has certain difficulties and needs to be performed under anesthesia. Does hysteroscopy surgery require general anesthesia?
Hysteroscopy surgery is invasive and requires placing the probe of the device into the uterus for operation. During the operation, the uterus needs to be stretched open, resulting in strong pain. In order to avoid patients being unable to undergo surgery due to unbearable pain, general anesthesia is required during the surgical process. Only under general anesthesia can patients relax both physically and mentally, and cooperate seamlessly with doctors to complete the surgery.
There is another important reason for using general anesthesia. Because hysteroscopy surgery can bring certain psychological fear to patients, and even leave serious psychological shadows, it is recommended to perform it under general anesthesia to avoid affecting the patient's mental health.
Since the surgery is performed under general anesthesia, the patient does not need to be nervous and the entire process is painless, ending the surgery while sleeping. Intraoperative anesthesia is also administered intravenously. After the surgery is completed, the anesthetic can be quickly metabolized out of the body, so there is no need to worry about any long-term effects on physical health.
