A hysteroscopy involves the insertion of a thin, telescopic device through the vagina into the uterus, allowing for visualization of the cervix and uterine cavity. No surgical incision or radiopaque dye is typically used in the procedure. While tissue samples may be taken during the procedure, this is not the primary purpose of a hysteroscopy.
