Published: 2024-08-06

Abstract

Hysteroscopy plays a crucial role in the diagnosis and management of Abnormal Uterine Bleeding (AUB), a condition characterized by irregular bleeding patterns that significantly impact women’s quality of life. This article examines both the diagnostic and therapeutic uses of hysteroscopy in addressing AUB, highlighting its capability to directly visualize the uterine cavity and facilitate targeted treatments. Hysteroscopy is particularly useful for identifying structural causes of AUB, such as polyps, fibroids, and endometrial hyperplasia, while offering a minimally invasive treatment option for these conditions. The benefits of the procedure include high diagnostic accuracy, shorter recovery periods, and the possibility of immediate treatment. However, it also has limitations, such as the potential for incomplete visualization and certain complications. Overall, hysteroscopy is an effective tool in the management of AUB, with ongoing advancements enhancing its clinical efficacy and patient outcomes.
