Preparation:
Before the procedure: Schedule the investigation, as a rule, in the first 7–12 days of the menstrual cycle, when the uterine lining is thin and visibility is optimal. Tell your doctor about any chronic diseases, surgeries, drug treatments, or known allergies. You may be recommended preliminary analyzes (pregnancy test, hemogram, coagulogram, vaginal/cervical exudate, transvaginal ultrasound). Avoid sexual contact, vaginal douching, tampons and vaginal ova for 48 hours before the procedure. On the day of the procedure: Come with regular intimate hygiene, but without the application of vaginal creams or ovules. If the procedure is done under anesthesia, follow the indications for food and fluid rest (usually 6–8 hours before). Wear comfortable clothes and take sanitary pads with you, as minor leakage may occur after the examination. After the procedure: Mild cramping pain and light bleeding are possible for 1–2 days. Avoid sexual contact, swimming pool and sauna for 3–5 days or as directed by the doctor. Notify your doctor immediately if you develop fever, severe pain, or heavy bleeding.
