| description | Background: Hysteroscopy is a clinical procedure that allows a gynecologist to see inside the uterus through endoscopy. This can be done for diagnosis or treatment of intrauterine conditions and as a method of surgery.
Purpose: To establish the prevalence of uterine disease in a group of healthy patients who underwent hysteroscopy as part of their gynecological examination.
Materials and methods: It was an observational study. 18 patients who attended a regular consultation provided by the clinical services of Gynecology and Obstetrics of the General Hospital Pemex Picacho were studied; a hysteroscopy was performed in 7 (38.8%) patients who only attended a usual gynecological examination, were asymptomatic and were without known gynecological pathology.
Results: When performing hysteroscopy, 6 (85.7%) patients with gynecological pathology not previously known were found. The disease most commonly found in this sample was the internal cervical stenosis (28.5%).
Conclusions: Hysteroscopy showed a high prevalence of detecting uterine pathologies that were never previously described in a population of healthy women in a common sample of patients attending the outpatient Hospital Pemex Picacho. |
