The postoperative period
Rehabilitation after hysteroscopy conditionally divided into two stages. On the ground is restored mucosal integrity and normalize their operation. The mucous membrane of the uterus during this time completely heals, regenerates tissues of the cervical canal. Often, in the initial stage of recovery of the body faces the female abdominal pains.
