Diagnostic and operative Hysteroscopy
At Gem Hospital & IVF Centre, we are dedicated to offering advanced gynecological and fertility treatments tailored to your specific needs. Among our many specialized procedures, Hysteroscopy is a highly effective diagnostic and therapeutic tool for addressing uterine issues and enhancing fertility outcomes.
What is Hysteroscopy?
Hysteroscopy is a minimally invasive procedure that allows doctors to examine the inside of the uterus using a hysteroscope—a thin, lighted tube equipped with a camera. This procedure is widely used for diagnosing and treating various uterine conditions, ensuring accurate results with minimal discomfort and downtime.
Types of Hysteroscopy
- Diagnostic Hysteroscopy
- Used to identify abnormalities in the uterus.
- Often performed to investigate causes of infertility, recurrent miscarriages, or abnormal bleeding.
- Operative Hysteroscopy
- Combines diagnosis and treatment in a single procedure.
- Used to correct conditions like fibroids, polyps, or adhesions that may be affecting fertility or overall uterine health.
When is Hysteroscopy Recommended?
Hysteroscopy is often advised in the following cases:
- Infertility Investigations: To detect abnormalities affecting conception.
- Recurrent Miscarriages: To identify uterine issues contributing to pregnancy loss.
- Abnormal Uterine Bleeding: To diagnose causes of heavy or irregular periods.
- Uterine Conditions: Such as fibroids, polyps, septum, or adhesions (Asherman’s Syndrome).
- Retained Products of Conception: To remove remaining tissue post-miscarriage or childbirth.
Benefits of Hysteroscopy
Hysteroscopy offers several advantages over traditional diagnostic and surgical methods:
- Minimally Invasive: No large incisions, resulting in faster recovery.
- High Accuracy: Direct visualization of the uterine cavity for precise diagnosis and treatment.
- Quick Recovery: Patients typically resume normal activities within a day or two.
- Enhanced Fertility Outcomes: By resolving uterine abnormalities, hysteroscopy can significantly improve the chances of conception.
The Hysteroscopy Procedure
- Preparation:
- The patient may receive mild sedation or anesthesia for comfort.
- The procedure is typically performed in an outpatient setting.
- Procedure:
- The hysteroscope is gently inserted through the vagina and cervix into the uterus.
- The doctor examines the uterine cavity and identifies any abnormalities.
- For operative hysteroscopy, surgical instruments are passed through the hysteroscope to correct the issues.
- Post-Procedure Care:
- Mild cramping or spotting may occur but resolves quickly.
- Patients receive instructions for follow-up and any necessary medications.
