Hysteroscopy: A Key to Women's Health

Hysteroscopy is a minimally invasive procedure used to diagnose and treat conditions affecting the uterus. It involves the use of a hysteroscope, a thin, lighted tube inserted through the vagina, to view the inside of the uterus. This procedure is commonly used for both diagnostic and operative purposes, offering women effective solutions for various gynecological issues.

  • Types of Hysteroscopy

    1. Diagnostic Hysteroscopy

      • Used to identify abnormalities in the uterus.
      • Often performed to investigate symptoms like heavy periods, infertility, or recurrent miscarriages.
    2. Operative Hysteroscopy

      • Treats identified issues during the diagnostic procedure.
      • Allows removal of fibroids, polyps, adhesions, or other uterine abnormalities.

    When is Hysteroscopy Recommended?

    • Abnormal Uterine Bleeding: Identifying the cause of heavy, irregular, or postmenopausal bleeding.
    • Fibroids or Polyps: Detecting and removing non-cancerous growths in the uterus.
    • Uterine Septum: Diagnosing and correcting congenital abnormalities in the uterus.
    • Infertility or Recurrent Miscarriages: Evaluating uterine health to support pregnancy.
    • Retained Products of Conception: Removing tissue after a miscarriage or delivery.
    • IUD Issues: Locating and removing dislodged intrauterine devices.

    Benefits of Hysteroscopy

    • Minimally Invasive: No external incisions; the procedure is performed through the vagina.
    • Quick Recovery: Most patients resume daily activities within a day or two.
    • High Precision: Direct visualization of the uterine cavity ensures accurate diagnosis and treatment.
    • Combination Procedures: Can be performed alongside laparoscopy for comprehensive care.

    Recovery After Hysteroscopy

    • Timeframe: Recovery typically takes 1–2 days, with mild cramping or spotting.
    • Follow-Up: Regular visits ensure healing and address any concerns.
    • Postoperative Care: Avoid heavy lifting or intercourse for a short period as advised by your doctor.
