Hysteroscopy
Hysteroscopy is a minimally invasive procedure that allows doctors to examine the inside of the uterus using a thin, lighted instrument called a hysteroscope. This procedure is commonly used to diagnose and treat conditions affecting the uterus, such as abnormal bleeding, polyps, fibroids, and adhesions.
Benefits of Hysteroscopy
- Accurate Diagnosis: Hysteroscopy provides a direct view of the uterine cavity, allowing for precise diagnosis of various uterine conditions.
- Minimally Invasive: Compared to traditional surgery, hysteroscopy is minimally invasive, resulting in less pain, shorter recovery times, and reduced risk of complications.
- Treatment Options: In addition to diagnosis, hysteroscopy can be used to perform therapeutic procedures such as polyp removal, fibroid resection, and adhesion lysis.
- Fertility Enhancement: Hysteroscopy can help identify and correct uterine abnormalities that may impact fertility, improving the chances of successful conception.
Indications for Hysteroscopy
Hysteroscopy may be recommended for various gynecological conditions, including:
- Abnormal uterine bleeding
- Recurrent miscarriages
- Polyps or fibroids in the uterus
- Uterine adhesions (Asherman’s syndrome)
- Evaluation of infertility issues
The Hysteroscopy Procedure
During a hysteroscopy:
- A hysteroscope is inserted through the vagina and cervix into the uterus.
- The doctor examines the uterine cavity using a camera attached to the hysteroscope.
- If necessary, minor surgical procedures can be performed during the same procedure.
