Gauss speaks with great praise of this method of examination, by means of which the presence of fetal remains in the uterus, uterine polyps and uterine body cancer can be recognized, the cause of uterine bleeding and the course of the reverse development of the puerperal uterus can be diagnosed. It is possible, then, that with this method gynecologists will be able to inspect uterine tubal mouths, probe and catheterize the canals of the latter. Hysteroscopy is contraindicated in pregnancy, infectious diseases of the genital tract and diseases of the appendages. Its performance requires strict adherence to the rules of asepsis.
