Hysteroscopy is a new minimally invasive gynecological diagnosis and treatment technique that uses a hysteroscopy system, perfusion system, energy system, light source system, and imaging system to observe the inside of the uterine cavity. So, what are the hazards of hysteroscopy before menstruation?
The perfusion system of hysteroscopy puts a certain pressure on the uterine cavity, so the best time for hysteroscopy examination is 3 to 7 days after menstruation, without sexual intercourse. If hysteroscopy is performed before menstruation, the endometrium is relatively thick, and the pressure of the perfusion system can easily push the thick endometrium into the abdominal cavity, causing iatrogenic endometriosis. Moreover, an excessively thick endometrium is not conducive to observing the condition of the uterine cavity. So the timing of hysteroscopy examination must be strictly controlled, and sexual intercourse should be avoided for two weeks after surgery, and rest should be taken seriously.
Performing hysteroscopy before menstruation can easily lead to abnormal bleeding or increased menstrual bleeding, which can cause certain damage to the uterus. Before undergoing hysteroscopy examination, it is necessary to evaluate the physical condition and determine if it can be done before proceeding.
It is better to perform hysteroscopy after menstruation because the endometrium is relatively thin at this time, making it easier to expose lesions in the uterine cavity, resulting in less bleeding and easier treatment. Women need to calculate their menstrual period carefully. If a hysteroscope is performed before their period, the uterus may not fully recover before having a menstrual cycle, which can easily lead to infection.
