HYSTEROSCOPY
Hysteroscopy is a minimally invasive procedure used to diagnose and treat uterine abnormalities. It involves the insertion of a hysteroscope, which is a thin, lighted tube with a camera attached, through the vagina and cervix into the uterus. The hysteroscope allows the doctor to view the inside of the uterus on a monitor and take pictures or videos for further analysis. Hysteroscopy can be used to diagnose conditions such as fibroids, polyps, endometriosis, and other uterine abnormalities. It can also be used to treat these conditions by removing tissue or performing other procedures such as endometrial ablation or polypectomy. Hysteroscopy is an important tool for diagnosing and treating uterine conditions in women of all ages.
Why is Diagnostic Hysteroscopy performed?
- Diagnostic hysteroscopy identifies structural irregularities in your uterus that may be causing abnormal bleeding.
- to confirm the results of other tests, such as an ultrasound or hysterosalpingography (HSG)
What is operative hysteroscopy?
Operative hysteroscopy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure used to diagnose and treat uterine conditions. It involves inserting a camera and other specialized instruments into the uterus through the cervix, allowing doctors to observe an enlarged view of the uterus and its surrounding organs. By using this technique, doctors can identify abnormalities in the uterus, such as fibroids or endometrial polyps, and then remove them without making an incision.
Operative hysteroscopy is often used in combination with other fertility treatments to ensure that any potential difficulties are addressed before IVF or other treatments are attempted
