Hysteroscopy (Diagnostic & Operative)

A Clearer Look Inside the Uterus — Without Cuts or Stitches

Hysteroscopy is a minimally invasive procedure that allows your doctor to directly see the inside of your uterus using a thin, lighted telescope-like device called a hysteroscope. It helps diagnose and sometimes treat fertility-related problems like fibroids, polyps, scar tissue, or abnormal bleeding — without any surgical cuts or long hospital stays.

At Dr. Aishwarya’s clinic, hysteroscopy is performed gently and precisely, with the goal of identifying and resolving issues that may be silently affecting your ability to conceive or maintain a healthy pregnancy.

What Is Hysteroscopy?

Hysteroscopy involves inserting a narrow telescope-like camera through the vagina and cervix into the uterus. It allows the doctor to:

  • Examine the shape and lining of the uterus
  • Identify any abnormalities like fibroids, adhesions, or septum
  • Treat certain conditions in the same sitting using tiny instruments

It’s a safe and effective procedure that can be done as a day-care procedure — meaning you go home the same day.

Types of Hysteroscopy

  •  Diagnostic Hysteroscopy

    Used to examine the uterus and detect possible causes of infertility, miscarriage, or abnormal bleeding.

  •  Operative Hysteroscopy

    Used to treat conditions identified during the diagnostic hysteroscopy — such as removing fibroids, polyps, or adhesions — using fine surgical instruments.

How the Procedure Works

1. Before the Procedure
  • Done between Day 6–12 of your cycle (right after your period)
  • Fasting may be required if anaesthesia is used
  • You’ll be informed about the steps and consent will be taken
2. During the Procedure
  • A narrow camera (hysteroscope) is inserted through the vagina
  • Saline or gas is used to gently expand the uterus for better visibility
  • The doctor examines the uterine cavity in real-time
  • If needed, fibroids, polyps, or scar tissue can be removed using small tools
3. After the Procedure
  • You’ll rest for 1–2 hours and can go home the same day
  • Mild cramping or spotting is common for 1–2 days
  • You can resume normal activities the next day

Why Hysteroscopy Matters in Fertility Treatment

Many uterine conditions can silently affect fertility or cause miscarriages without showing up on basic scans. Hysteroscopy helps:

  • Detect hidden issues that other tests may miss
  • Improve the success rate of fertility treatments like IUI and IVF
  • Treat the uterus gently, preserving future fertility
  • Avoid unnecessary open surgery or long recovery times
