Hysteroscopy
Hysteroscopy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure used to visualise and diagnose or treat conditions of the uterus. During the procedure, a thin, lighted instrument called a hysteroscope is inserted through the cervix and into the uterus. The hysteroscope allows our doctors to examine the inside of the uterus and surrounding tissue, including the endometrial lining and the openings of the fallopian tubes. This examination can help diagnose conditions such as uterine fibroids, endometrial polyps, abnormal bleeding, or adhesions (scar tissue) within the uterus.
Geetai Hospitals offers one of the highest quality hysteroscopies available. From our professional medical team to the latest state-of-the-art technology, we strive to provide our patients with the best experience possible.
Conditions treated under hysteroscopy
Hysteroscopy is used to diagnose and treat a variety of conditions affecting the uterus, including:
- Abnormal uterine bleeding: Hysteroscopy can help diagnose the cause of abnormal bleeding, such as uterine fibroids, endometrial polyps, or uterine cancer.
- Uterine fibroids: Hysteroscopy can help diagnose the presence of fibroids and, in some cases, remove them through the hysteroscope.
- Endometrial polyps: Hysteroscopy can help diagnose and remove endometrial polyps, which are growths in the lining of the uterus.
- Scar tissue: Hysteroscopy can help diagnose and treat adhesions (scar tissue) within the uterus, which can cause infertility or other problems.
- Structural abnormalities: Hysteroscopy can help diagnose structural abnormalities of the uterus, such as a septum (a wall of tissue dividing the uterus), and can be used to correct some of these abnormalities.
- Infertility: Hysteroscopy can be used to diagnose and treat causes of infertility, such as uterine abnormalities or adhesions.
Benefits of Hysteroscopy
Hysteroscopy has several advantages, including:
- Minimally invasive: Hysteroscopy is a minimally invasive procedure that does not require a large incision, making it a safer and less painful option compared to traditional surgical procedures.
- Accurate diagnosis: Hysteroscopy allows the doctor to directly visualise the inside of the uterus, making it a more accurate diagnostic tool compared to other methods, such as ultrasound.
- Treatment option: In addition to diagnosis, hysteroscopy can also be used to treat certain conditions, such as removing polyps or fibroids, correcting structural abnormalities, or treating heavy bleeding.
- Quick recovery time: Hysteroscopy is usually performed on an outpatient basis, and the recovery time is relatively short, allowing patients to return to their normal activities soon after the procedure.
- Reduced risk of complications: Compared to traditional surgical procedures, the risk of complications from hysteroscopy is relatively low.
- Cost-effective: Hysteroscopy is often a more cost-effective option compared to traditional surgical procedures, as it requires fewer resources and has a shorter recovery time.
