Hysteroscopy

🔬 What is Hysteroscopy?

Hysteroscopy is a procedure that allows direct visualization of the inside of the uterus (uterine cavity). It is done using a hysteroscope — a thin tube with a camera and light — inserted through the vagina and cervix, without making any incision. It helps in identifying and correcting abnormalities affecting fertility and menstrual health.

⚙️ Types of Hysteroscopy

• Diagnostic Hysteroscopy: Used to detect uterine problems such as polyps, fibroids, septum, or scarring.
• Operative Hysteroscopy: Performed to correct abnormalities during the same procedure — removing fibroids, adhesions, or polyps.

🧬 When is Hysteroscopy Recommended?

• Repeated IVF failures or miscarriages
• Abnormal uterine bleeding or spotting
• Suspected uterine fibroids, polyps, or adhesions
• To remove uterine septum or scar tissue (Asherman’s syndrome)
• Before IVF or embryo transfer for uterine cavity assessment

🩸 How is the Procedure Performed?

1. It is performed under mild sedation or anesthesia.
2. The hysteroscope is gently inserted through the cervix into the uterus.
3. Carbon dioxide gas or saline is used to expand the uterus for clear visibility.
4. The uterine cavity is examined, and if needed, abnormalities are treated immediately.
5. Most patients go home the same day and resume normal activities within 24–48 hours.
