Hysteroscopy may be used to either diagnose or treat uterine polyps. During this procedure, a doctor inserts a long, thin tube with a lighted telescope (hysteroscope) through the vagina and cervix into the uterus. The hysteroscope allows the physician to examine the inside of the uterus. In treatment, the doctor will insert surgical instruments through the hysteroscope to remove any polyps that are found. 2  Curettage (see above) may be performed along with hysteroscopy. 3  While using the hysteroscope to look at the interior of the uterus, the doctor uses a curette to scrape the lining and remove any polyps.
