A member asked:

I had asked for a referral to be sterilized and have had a letter with an appointment for a hysteroscopy, is this normal procedure as letter was vague?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Talk to referred MD: You need to take a list of questions to the referred MD. Hysteroscopy with a "plug" is used to block the inner opening of the Fallopian tube as it enters the uterus for sterilization purposes.
