The best time to do hysteroscopy is when you are not in your menstrual cycle, because otherwise your doctor will not be able to see your cervix clearly.
If you are likely to become pregnant, hysteroscopy should be performed before ovulation so that your doctor is sure you are not pregnant. Avoid vaginal douche, tampons, and vaginal medications for 1 hour before the test.
For hysteroscopy, you may be given a sedative medication, or may use topical, regional, or complete anesthesia. Your doctor will talk to you about this. If you decide to have a complete anesthesia, you should not eat or drink before testing. Take your doctor's instructions on when to stop eating and drinking too much, as your test may be canceled.
