Hysteroscopy in Hyderabad – Expert Care by Dr. Vinatha Puli, Obstetrician, Gynecologist and Urogynecologist

What is Hysteroscopy?

Hysteroscopy is a minimally invasive diagnostic and surgical procedure used to examine the inside of the uterus. It involves inserting a thin, lighted tube called a hysteroscope through the vagina and cervix into the uterus to detect and treat abnormalities. This procedure is commonly performed for diagnosing and treating conditions such as abnormal uterine bleeding, fibroids, polyps, and infertility issues.

Why is Hysteroscopy Performed?

Hysteroscopy is recommended for various gynecological conditions, including:

• Abnormal Uterine Bleeding: To investigate the causes of heavy, irregular, or postmenopausal bleeding.
• Uterine Fibroids & Polyps: To detect and remove benign growths in the uterine cavity.
• Infertility & Recurrent Miscarriages: To evaluate and treat uterine abnormalities affecting pregnancy.
• Endometrial Thickening: To assess and biopsy the uterine lining for abnormal growths.
• Adhesions (Asherman’s Syndrome): To diagnose and remove scar tissue in the uterus.
• Congenital Uterine Anomalies: To identify and correct uterine structural abnormalities.

Types of Hysteroscopy Procedures

• Diagnostic Hysteroscopy: Used to examine the uterus and diagnose issues.
• Operative Hysteroscopy: Used to treat identified conditions by removing growths, correcting abnormalities, or performing biopsies.

Benefits of Hysteroscopy

• Minimally Invasive: No major incisions, reducing pain and recovery time.
• Quick Recovery: Most patients return to normal activities within a day or two.
• Accurate Diagnosis: Provides direct visualization of uterine issues.
• Reduced Need for Open Surgery: Many conditions can be treated without major surgical intervention.
• Same-Day Procedure: In many cases, hysteroscopy is performed as an outpatient procedure.

How to Prepare for a Hysteroscopy

• A hysteroscopy is typically scheduled after menstruation but before ovulation.
• Your doctor may advise fasting for a few hours before the procedure.
• Medications or anesthesia may be used, depending on whether it is a diagnostic or operative hysteroscopy.

What to Expect During the Procedure

• Preparation: The patient is placed in a comfortable position, and local or general anesthesia may be used.
• Insertion of the Hysteroscope: A speculum is inserted into the vagina, and the hysteroscope is gently guided through the cervix into the uterus.
• Visualization: The doctor examines the uterine cavity using a camera attached to the hysteroscope.
• Treatment (if needed): If abnormalities are found, specialized instruments can be used through the hysteroscope for treatment.
• Completion: The hysteroscope is removed, and the procedure is concluded.

Recovery & Aftercare

• Mild cramping or spotting for a few days is normal.
• Avoid sexual intercourse, tampons, and strenuous activities for a few days.
• Follow-up with your gynecologist is essential to discuss the findings and any necessary treatments.
