Problems Related to Infertility and/or Miscarriage

This page has pictures and images of normal and abnormal uterine cavities as seen with hysteroscopy. Hysteroscopy is a procedure done by a gynecologist or infertility specialist physician that involves passing a scope through the vagina and cervical opening in order to visualize the inside of the uterine cavity. There are various abnormalities that can be found that can interfere with initial embryo implantation, or with ongoing pregnancy. These structural abnormalities of the uterine cavity can prevent pregnancy from beginning or they can prevent continuation of pregnancy (increasing the risk for miscarriage).
