Diagnosis of Heavy Bleeding: How D&C With Hysteroscopy Can Help
Experiencing heavy periods is tough for most women as they can be painful and stressful. The medical term for heavy periods is ‘Menorrhagia’, wherein women often experience abnormally heavy or prolonged menstrual bleeding, occasionally even heavy bleeding with clots.
To treat the causes of heavy periods, hysteroscopy is often performed using a hysteroscope – a thin, lighted tube that is inserted in the vagina to examine the cervix and the inside of the uterus. A women’s healthcare specialist may also use hysteroscopy to take a tissue/lining sample to perform a biopsy or remove fibroid tumours.
