Hysteroscopy

What is Hysteroscopy?

A procedure where a thin, lighted tube (hysteroscope) is inserted into the uterus through the cervix to examine the inside of the uterus.

Why is Hysteroscopy Used for Infertility?

  1. Diagnose Uterine Problems: Identifies issues like fibroids, polyps, scar tissue, and abnormalities in the shape of the uterus that could affect fertility.
  2. Treat Uterine Issues: Allows for the removal of fibroids, polyps, and scar tissue, or the correction of uterine abnormalities, which can improve the chances of pregnancy.

Benefits of Hysteroscopy

Minimally Invasive: Less invasive than traditional surgery, with a faster recovery time.
Detailed View: Provides a clear view of the inside of the uterus, allowing for accurate diagnosis and treatment such as septoplasty and polypectomy.

Risks and Considerations

Risks: As with any procedure, there are some risks, including infection, bleeding, or injury to the uterus.
Recovery: Most patients experience minimal discomfort and recover quickly.

When to Consider Hysteroscopy

  1. Unexplained Infertility: When other fertility tests have not identified a cause.
  2. Recurrent Miscarriages: To check for and treat uterine abnormalities that could be contributing to miscarriages.
  3. Abnormal Uterine Findings: To diagnose and treat abnormalities found during other fertility tests, like an ultrasound.
