Hysteroscopy is a minimally invasive procedure used to diagnose and treat issues within the uterus. At Dr. Seema Madan’s clinics in Delhi and Faridabad, we offer advanced hysteroscopy services to address a wide range of gynecological concerns with precision, care, and expertise. With over 20 years of experience, Dr. Seema Madan specializes in delivering safe and effective hysteroscopy treatments to improve women’s health and well-being.

What is Hysteroscopy?

Hysteroscopy is a procedure that involves inserting a thin, lighted tube called a hysteroscope into the uterus through the vagina and cervix. This allows your doctor to examine the uterine cavity for abnormalities and, if needed, perform treatments at the same time.

It is a safe, quick, and minimally invasive procedure often performed on an outpatient basis, meaning most patients can go home the same day.

Types of Hysteroscopy

1. Diagnostic Hysteroscopy

This is used to examine the uterus and identify the causes of symptoms such as abnormal bleeding, infertility, or repeated miscarriages. Diagnostic hysteroscopy is often combined with other procedures like a biopsy or ultrasound for accurate diagnosis.

2. Operative Hysteroscopy

When an abnormality is detected during diagnostic hysteroscopy, operative hysteroscopy is performed to treat the condition. Instruments are passed through the hysteroscope to address issues such as fibroids, polyps, or adhesions.

When is Hysteroscopy Recommended?

Hysteroscopy is recommended for diagnosing and treating various uterine conditions, including:

  • Abnormal Uterine Bleeding: Heavy, irregular, or prolonged menstrual periods.
  • Uterine Fibroids or Polyps: Noncancerous growths that can cause bleeding or infertility.
  • Endometrial Adhesions (Asherman’s Syndrome): Scar tissue in the uterus that may affect fertility.
  • Recurrent Miscarriages: To investigate structural abnormalities in the uterus.
  • Infertility: To evaluate and treat conditions preventing pregnancy.
  • Septum in the Uterus: A congenital defect that can affect fertility or pregnancy outcomes.
  • Retained Products of Conception: Removal of remaining tissue after a miscarriage or delivery.

Benefits of Hysteroscopy

Hysteroscopy is an excellent alternative to more invasive surgical procedures, offering numerous benefits:

  • Minimally Invasive: No external incisions required.
  • Quick Recovery: Most women resume normal activities within 1-2 days.
  • Accurate Diagnosis: Provides a clear view of the uterus for accurate identification of issues.
  • Same-Day Treatment: Diagnostic and operative procedures can often be done in one sitting.
  • Reduced Pain and Risks: Minimal post-procedure discomfort and lower risk of complications.

How is Hysteroscopy Performed?

  • Preparation

    • You may be advised to avoid eating or drinking a few hours before the procedure.
    • In some cases, medication may be prescribed to dilate the cervix for easier access.

  • During the Procedure

    • The procedure is performed under local or general anesthesia.
    • A hysteroscope is gently inserted into the uterus through the vagina and cervix.
    • The uterine cavity is expanded with saline or carbon dioxide gas for better visibility.
    • If abnormalities are detected, surgical instruments may be inserted through the hysteroscope to treat the condition.

  • Post-Procedure

    • You can go home the same day.
    • Mild cramping or spotting is normal and typically resolves within a day or two.

Recovery and Aftercare

  • Most women recover quickly after hysteroscopy and can return to their daily routine within 24–48 hours.
