About this trial
Office hysteroscopy is a cornerstone in the diagnostic evaluation of infertile women, enabling direct visualization of the uterine cavity for identifying intrauterine pathology. The vaginoscopic ("no-touch") approach, which eliminates the use of a speculum and tenaculum, is increasingly adopted due to improved tolerability, higher success rates, and reduced pain compared to conventional methods.
