What is Hysteroscopy?
Hysteroscopy is a minimally invasive diagnostic and therapeutic procedure that allows us to view the inside of the uterus (womb) using a thin, lighted instrument called a hysteroscope. This procedure helps us accurately diagnose and treat various uterine problems — without the need for open surgery.
At Shree Clinic, we perform hysteroscopy with the utmost precision, ensuring comfort, safety, and quick recovery for every woman.
Why is Hysteroscopy Done?
Hysteroscopy helps us both diagnose and treat problems related to the uterus. It is often recommended when you experience:
- Heavy or irregular menstrual bleeding
- Postmenopausal bleeding
- Infertility or repeated miscarriages
- Uterine fibroids or polyps
- Abnormal uterine shape (septum, adhesions, etc.)
- Removal of retained products after miscarriage
- Evaluation before IVF or other fertility treatments
Depending on the condition, hysteroscopy may be diagnostic (for examination) or operative (for treatment).
Types of Hysteroscopy
- Diagnostic Hysteroscopy:
Used to inspect the uterine cavity and identify abnormalities such as fibroids, polyps, or uterine septum. - Operative Hysteroscopy:
Performed to treat uterine problems detected during diagnostic hysteroscopy — such as removing fibroids, polyps, or scar tissue — using fine surgical instruments attached to the hysteroscope.
Procedure Overview
- The procedure is usually performed under local or short general anesthesia.
- A thin hysteroscope is gently inserted through the vagina and cervix into the uterus.
- The uterine cavity is expanded with saline solution for better visibility.
- The inner lining is examined, and any abnormalities are treated simultaneously if needed.
- The entire procedure usually takes 15–30 minutes, and most patients can return home the same day.
Benefits of Hysteroscopy
- Minimally invasive: No incisions, minimal pain, and faster recovery
- Accurate diagnosis: Direct visualization of uterine conditions
- Fertility improvement: Treats uterine issues affecting conception
- Daycare procedure: Short hospital stay and quick return to normal activities
- Lower complication rate: Safer than open or laparoscopic procedures for many conditions
Possible Risks
While hysteroscopy is generally safe, mild side effects may occur such as:
- Cramping or spotting for a day or two
- Rarely, infection or uterine perforation (very uncommon with expert care)
At Shree Clinic, we take every precaution to minimize risks and ensure safe, smooth recovery.
