A very thin optical instrument (4mm.) Similar to a telescope is used and placed through the vaginal canal and cervix, allowing to see inside the uterine cavity, in order to diagnose and treat the problem accurately, obtaining the tissue sample in case an endometrial biopsy is performed, and even recording the images to include them in the patient’s file.
