Is it painful to do a hysteroscopy?

Patient's question:

I have an itchy lower body, and my underwear is always yellow. What's going on? Is it painful to have a hysteroscopy?

Doctor's answer:

Just like a regular gynecological examination, a duck-billed speculum is used to dilate the area so that the inside can be seen. It may be uncomfortable, but it won't be painful. Relaxing will make it slightly better. The examination takes only one or two minutes and is nothing to worry about.
As long as you are not using contraception, there is a possibility of pregnancy. It is recommended to use a home pregnancy test kit after a delay of 7 days in your menstrual cycle. Additionally, two weeks after sexual intercourse, a blood HCG test can confirm whether you are pregnant.
