Hysteroscopy is a minimally invasive procedure used to examine and treat abnormalities inside the uterus that can impact fertility. It is commonly performed to remove fibroids, polyps, adenomyosis, adhesions (Asherman’s syndrome), and uterine septa, improving the chances of pregnancy.

Who Needs Hysteroscopy?

• Women with recurrent miscarriages or implantation failure
• Those with abnormal uterine bleeding or heavy periods
• Suspected fibroids, polyps, or uterine adhesions
• Uterine abnormalities e.g. septum

Women preparing for IVF or fertility treatments

Step-by-Step Process

1. Preparation: The patient is given anesthesia (regional or general).
2. Insertion of Hysteroscope: A thin, flexible camera is inserted through the cervix into the uterus.
3. Diagnosis: The surgeon examines the uterine cavity for abnormalities.
4. Treatment (If Needed): Small surgical tools are used to remove fibroids, polyps, or scar tissue.
5. Completion & Recovery: The procedure is outpatient-based, with minimal downtime.

Benefits of Hysteroscopy

• No incisions, no scarring
• Quick recovery (same-day discharge)
• Effective for dealing with uterine lesions to improve implantation and pregnancy success
