Hysteroscopy

What Is Hysteroscopy Used For
Hysteroscopy is a minimally invasive procedure that allows doctors to examine the inside of the uterus. It is performed using a thin, lighted instrument called a hysteroscope. This procedure helps diagnose and treat conditions like polyps, fibroids, septum, or uterine adhesions, which may affect fertility or cause abnormal bleeding.

Why Hysteroscopy Is Beneficial
Hysteroscopy offers both diagnostic and therapeutic benefits. It provides direct visualization of the uterus, enabling precise treatment. It is commonly used before IVF cycles to ensure a healthy uterine environment for embryo implantation. The procedure is generally safe, well-tolerated, and can be done in an outpatient setting with quick recovery.

How the Procedure Is Performed
During hysteroscopy, the hysteroscope is gently inserted through the cervix into the uterus. The uterus is expanded using a fluid to allow clear viewing. Depending on findings, surgical tools may be used to remove growths or correct abnormalities. The process is usually completed within 30 minutes and most patients return to normal activities soon after.
