Hysteroscopy
A procedure using a thin camera passed through the cervix to examine the inside of the uterus.
In plain English
It's a camera test that lets a doctor look directly inside your womb for anything that might affect implantation, like polyps or scarring.
Why it matters
It's sometimes recommended after repeated failed transfers or before starting treatment if there's a reason to check the womb cavity.
