What is Hysteroscopy?

Hysteroscopy is a minimally invasive procedure that involves the insertion of a thin, lighted endoscope (hysteroscope) through the cervix to visualize the uterine cavity. It is both a diagnostic and therapeutic tool that avoids the need for open surgery.
Types:
•       Diagnostic Hysteroscopy:
Used to assess for symptoms such as heavy or irregular bleeding, infertility, or recurrent pregnancy loss.
•       Operative Hysteroscopy:
Allows surgical correction of conditions identified during the diagnostic phase using specialized instruments introduced through the hysteroscope.

Indications for Hysteroscopy

Hysteroscopy may be recommended for:
•       Abnormal uterine bleeding
•       Heavy or irregular menstrual cycles
•       Postmenopausal bleeding
•       Unexplained infertility
•       Recurrent miscarriage
•       Suspected intrauterine lesions (e.g., fibroids, polyps, adhesions, septum)

Conditions Treated with Operative Hysteroscopy

Operative hysteroscopy allows direct visualisation and treatment of several intrauterine abnormalities, including:
•       Submucosal fibroids 
•       Endometrial polyps
•       Uterine septum (congenital anomaly)
•       Intrauterine adhesions (Asherman’s syndrome)
•       Retained products of conception (RPOC)
•       Endometrial thickening requiring biopsy or resection

Procedure Overview

•       Performed under local, regional, or general anesthesia, depending on the indication and patient profile.
•       The hysteroscope is inserted transvaginally through the cervix, allowing real-time visualization of the uterine cavity on a monitor.
•       If a pathology is identified, it can often be treated during the same session using fine operative instruments.
•       The procedure typically takes 15–45 minutes and is usually done as a daycare intervention.

Benefits of Hysteroscopy

•       Scarless, incision-free procedure
•       Minimal discomfort and rapid recovery
•       Simultaneous diagnosis and treatment
•       Reduced hospital stay and early return to normal activities
•       Lower risk of infection compared to traditional surgery

Post-Procedure Recovery and Aftercare

•       Mild cramping or light spotting may occur for 24–48 hours.
•       Most patients resume regular activity within 1–2 days.
•       Follow-up includes clinical assessment, review of histopathology (if applicable), and guidance on further treatment or fertility planning.

Why Choose This Approach?

•       Advanced technology for high-definition visualization and precision treatment
•       Minimally invasive technique that preserves uterine integrity and fertility
•       Short procedural time and quick discharge
•       Ideal for both diagnostic and therapeutic management of complex intrauterine conditions
