How long does hysteroscopy usually last?

Hysteroscopic surgery usually takes 5 minutes to 1 hour, but the specific time should be analyzed according to different situations.

Generally speaking, simple hysteroscopic surgery, such as removing the embedded IUD, takes about 5-10 minutes. Complex hysteroscopic surgery, such as removing submucosal uterine fibroids or terminating pregnancy, may take 30 minutes or longer. If the operation is difficult, or the surgeon is not skilled enough, or there are special circumstances, the operation time may exceed 1 hour.

It is recommended that patients relax, do not be overly nervous, cooperate with the doctor's treatment, pay attention to postoperative rest, and strengthen personal hygiene care.
