Cystoscopy is done to determine the cause of blood in the urine, investigate repeated urinary tract infections, evaluating blockages in the urethra and removing foreign objects.
Hysteroscopy is a procedure to examine the lining of the uterus and identify, diagnose and treat abnormalities that could be caused of abnormal bleeding and infertility. It may also be used to diagnose and remove fibroids or polyps, and find and reposition an intraurine device.
