Endometrial Surgery in Chembur-Mumbai

What is Endometrial Surgery?

Endometrial surgery is a term used for various invasive interventions performed on the endometrium, with the aim of diagnosing, assessing and treating a variety of conditions.

Endometrium refers to the inner uterine lining. It is made up of a layer of mucosal tissues that we shed during our periods.

At Surya Hospital, we plan every surgery while keeping in view your fertility goals, and preserving the possibility of a healthy pregnancy in future.

What are the indications of Endometrial Surgery?

Certain abnormalities in the endometrium can give rise to the need for surgical intervention, especially when the problem is interfering with your ability to conceive or putting you at risk of potential complications.

• Heavy or irregular menstrual bleeding, also known as abnormal uterine bleeding.
• Endometriosis, which is marked by the outgrowth of the endometrial tissue beyond the uterus
• Polyps or fibroids which are uterine growths that can bleed and be uncomfortable but are not malignant.
• Infertility, which is caused by abnormalities or irregularities in the endometrial lining
• Hysteroscopy or endometrial biopsy may be used to identify specific uterine problems, including cancer

Types of Endometrial Surgery:

Some of the most common endometrial surgeries offered by our experts at Surya Hospital include:

• Endometrial Biopsy: It involves the collection of a sample of endometrial tissue for detailed analysis to look out for the signs of a malignancy or other medical condition.
• Endometrial Ablation: The procedure is used for treating abnormal uterine bleeding by destroying the endometrial lining
• Dilation and Curettage: D&C involves the scrapping of endometrial tissue by dilating the cervix, using a spoon-like instrument
• Hysteroscopic Septoplasty: The surgery is performed to correct deformities affecting the uterine septum.
• Myomectomy: The procedure aims at removing fibroids that develop on the endometrium, without damaging the surrounding tissue. The procedure can be performed using the conventional approach or using hysteroscopy.
• Hysteroscopic Polypectomy: The minimally invasive intervention is performed to remove polyps that are causing severe and unmanageable symptoms

Preparation

Your preparation for endometrial surgery starts with pre-evaluation and assessments. A thorough analysis of your medical history, current medications, and any underlying diseases is done during the process.

Depending on your overall evaluations, doctors determine a personalized treatment course and brief you about the same.

You may be required to make certain adjustments in your diet and medication to prepare your body for the surgery.

Procedure

The steps involved in the procedure vary depending on the type of procedure and the approach followed.

Minimally invasive endometrial surgery is performed by making keyhole incisions or by following a transvaginal approach.

Conventional endometrial surgery is performed by making large incisions to access the uterus and treat the endometrium.

Recovery

Surya Hospitals places a high priority on post-operative care and assistance.

The medical staff gives explicit instructions for post-surgery rehabilitation, pain management, and any required follow-up appointments.

Regular follow-ups are important to help the doctors track your development, address any issues, and evaluate the procedure's effectiveness.

Your doctor might advise you to maintain a healthy weight, adopt a balanced diet, or, if necessary, look into hormonal therapy as a way to manage your disease.
