Jon Hausken: Yeah. What is hysteroscopy? Sure, we go into the uterine cavity to see if there may be causes inside the uterine cavity. What causes can there be? Yes, it could be polyps. Polyps, what is it? Yes, there are mucosal growths that create small outgrowths. Why might that be a problem? If they have outgrowths located in the middle of the uterine cavity, then the embryo or egg can attach in it. And there is not enough circulation, and thus one does not get pregnant. It can almost seem like a spiral. This can be examined with hysteroscopy.

Jon Hausken: Yeah. It is a simple examination that is performed in a regular G.U. chair without any kind of anesthetic. The scope is only 3.5mm and is inserted through, by the direction of vision, into the cervical canal up into the uterine cavity. It's completely painless. What, then, can we see with that? Yes, we can see the uterine cavity. Does it have a normal shape? Could there be any polyps? Outgrowths from the mucous membrane? Could there be some partition? Or could there be some anatomical problems?
Jon Hausken: The survey itself takes only 2-3 minutes. But if we find something. After all, it may be a mucous outgrowth, so-called polyp. Then we can remove it in the same séance. Whether we can insert a pair of scissors through this scoop and cut it away. Or we could use an electric electrode and burn away.
