Introduction:
Hysteroscopy is a procedure used widely for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes. Hysteroscopy enables visualisation of the endometrial cavity and if possible treatment in the same setting avoiding invasive procedure. The objective of the study was to find out the prevalence of hysteroscopy among gynaecological patients attending the outpatient department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology in a tertiary care centre.
Methods:
A descriptive cross-sectional study was done among gynaecological patients from 1 January 2016 to 1 January 2020 visiting the outpatient Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology in a tertiary care centre after ethical approval from the Institutional Review Committee (Registration number: 029/2021). Convenience sampling was used. Data regarding demographic parameters, hysteroscopy findings, procedures performed, histopathological findings and complications were retrieved from the electronic database of the hospital. Point estimate and 95% Confidence Interval were calculated.
Results:
Among 319 gynaecological patients, hysteroscopy was done in 72 (22.57%) (17.98-27.16, 95% Confidence Interval) patients.
Conclusions:
The prevalence of hysteroscopy among gynaecological patients was higher to the studies done in similar settings.
