As the name suggests, hysteroscopy is the process of inserting instruments into a woman's uterine cavity for the purpose of examination, treatment, surgery, etc. Many women who are not familiar with this examination method may be concerned because they do not know how to cooperate. So, what preoperative examinations do hysteroscopes need to perform?
1. Routine blood test: This test is very simple to perform and the results have significant clinical significance. Routine blood tests can be used to determine whether a patient has local or systemic infections, blood abnormalities, or severe anemia. Routine blood tests can also determine whether the number of white blood cells or neutrophils in a patient's blood has significantly increased, thereby indirectly determining whether there are signs of infection. Through this test, the patient's physical condition can be understood to fully evaluate whether the patient meets the requirements for hysteroscopic surgery.
2. Electrocardiogram examination: This examination is also essential because intravenous anesthesia is required before hysteroscopy surgery. Therefore, it is necessary to have a preliminary understanding of the patient's cardiac function before hysteroscopy surgery. If the examination results indicate abnormalities, such as conduction block or tachycardia, further investigation of the cause is necessary, and hysteroscopy surgery should be suspended.
3. Check vaginal discharge: This examination, also known as routine vaginal discharge examination, can identify acute and chronic inflammation of the vagina and cervix.
