About Hysteroscopy

Hysteroscopy is a minimally invasive gynecological procedure used to examine the inside of the uterus (uterine cavity) using a thin, lighted instrument called a hysteroscope.

Overview

  • Evaluates abnormal uterine bleeding

  • Detects fibroids, polyps, adhesions, and uterine abnormalities

  • Assists in infertility evaluation

  • Enables removal of small growths or correction of uterine defects

  • Helps in diagnosis of recurrent miscarriages

Workflow

Step 1: Patient Preparation
Patient undergoes clinical evaluation; mild anesthesia or sedation may be given.

Step 2: Scope Insertion
A hysteroscope is gently inserted through the vagina and cervix into the uterus.

Step 3: Uterine Visualization
The uterine cavity is expanded using fluid or gas for clear visualization.

Step 4: Diagnosis / Treatment
Abnormalities are identified and treated (e.g., polyp removal, biopsy).

Step 5: Completion & Recovery
Procedure is completed within a short duration; patient recovers quickly.

Step 6: Reporting
Findings are documented and discussed with the patient.
