Hysteroscopy
A Minimally Invasive Diagnostic and Therapeutic Tool
Hysteroscopy is a minimally invasive gynaecological procedure used to examine the inside of the uterus with the help of a thin, lighted instrument called a hysteroscope. It plays an important role in diagnosing and managing various uterine conditions while avoiding major surgery.
At our clinic, hysteroscopy is performed as a diagnostic and therapeutic procedure, depending on the individual clinical requirement. The approach focuses on accuracy, safety, and patient comfort.
What Is Hysteroscopy?
Hysteroscopy allows direct visual assessment of the uterine cavity. The hysteroscope is inserted gently through the cervix, enabling clear evaluation of the uterus without any abdominal incision.
Depending on findings, minor treatments may also be carried out during the same procedure, helping reduce the need for multiple interventions.
When Is Hysteroscopy Recommended?
Hysteroscopy may be advised in the following situations:
- Abnormal or irregular uterine bleeding
- Evaluation of uterine polyps or fibroids
- Assessment of uterine abnormalities
- Investigation of infertility or recurrent pregnancy loss
- Suspected intrauterine adhesions (Asherman’s syndrome)
- Removal of retained tissue or foreign material
Each recommendation is based on clinical assessment, symptoms, and diagnostic findings
The Hysteroscopy Procedure
The procedure generally involves the following steps:
Pre-procedure evaluation
Medical history, symptoms, and relevant investigations are reviewed before planning the procedure.
Anaesthesia
Hysteroscopy may be performed under local, regional, or general anaesthesia depending on the complexity and patient comfort.
Visual examination
The hysteroscope is introduced through the cervix to examine the uterine cavity in detail.
Diagnosis and treatment
If required, certain conditions such as polyps or adhesions may be addressed during the same session.
Recovery
Most patients can return home the same day after short observation.
