Abstract:
Under the background of the trend in late marriage and the relaxation of family planning policy, the reproductive behavior of women has changed and the proportion of elderly pregnant women has increased progressively year by year. Thus the female fertility preservation is particularly important. As the cradle of life, uterine malformation and uterine cavity diseases may have adverse effects on embryo implantation and development. Several common intrauterine diseases, such as uterine submucosal fibroids, endometrial polyps, intrauterine adhesions, uterine malformation, cesarean scar diverticulum, and embryo residues, may affect female fertility. Hysteroscopy is the gold standard for the diagnosis and treatment for intrauterine diseases. With the progress in science and technology, the refinement of hysteroscopy instruments and the promotion of transvaginal endoscopic technology, hysteroscopy will yield brilliant results in female fertility preservation. The knowledge and training related to hysteroscopy should be continuously promoted and popularized, so that it can be mastered by more clinicians and applied in clinical practice to benefit more female patients.
