Understanding Hysteroscopy
A Minimally Invasive Diagnostic and Therapeutic Tool
Hysteroscopy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure that allows doctors to examine the interior of the uterus using a thin, lighted tube known as a hysteroscope. This innovative technique enables both diagnostic assessments and therapeutic interventions, making it a crucial component of modern gynaecological care.
Dr. Buchun Mishra is highly skilled in performing hysteroscopies, providing patients with a comprehensive evaluation of various uterine conditions, including fibroids, polyps, and abnormal bleeding. With her expertise, women can benefit from accurate diagnoses and effective treatment options.
Indications for Hysteroscopy
Hysteroscopy is indicated for various reasons, including:
- Evaluation of abnormal uterine bleeding.
- Diagnosis and treatment of uterine fibroids and polyps.
- Assessment of uterine anomalies and intrauterine adhesions (Asherman’s syndrome).
- Guidance during infertility evaluations.
- Removal of foreign bodies or retained products of conception.
With a thorough understanding of each patient’s medical history and symptoms, Dr. Mishra tailors hysteroscopy procedures to meet individual needs.
The Hysteroscopy Procedure
The hysteroscopy procedure typically involves the following steps:
- Preparation: The patient may be asked to avoid certain medications and follow specific guidelines prior to the procedure.
- Anesthesia: Hysteroscopy can be performed under local, regional, or general anesthesia, depending on the complexity of the procedure and patient comfort.
- Insertion of the Hysteroscope: The hysteroscope is gently inserted through the cervix into the uterus, allowing visualization of the uterine cavity.
- Diagnostic Assessment and Treatment: Abnormalities can be identified and treated during the same procedure using specialized instruments.
- Recovery: Patients are monitored post-procedure and can typically return home the same day.
Dr. Mishra ensures a safe and comfortable environment for hysteroscopy, addressing any concerns patients may have before and after the procedure.
Benefits of Hysteroscopy
