title: Diagnostic hysteroscopy to evaluate the cause of abnormal uterine bleeding.
abstract: Diagnostic hysteroscopy has become an important and valuable tool for the gynecologist in the evaluation of many conditions previously evaluated with blind and inaccurate techniques. The safety, ease of proficiency, and ability to see and diagnose in an office setting have taken much of the guesswork out of office diagnosis. This modality brings the evaluation of many pathologic conditions, including the cause for abnormal uterine bleeding, infertility, and recurrent pregnancy loss, back into a relaxed office environment.
