Hysteroscopy Surgery in Santacruz-Mumbai

What is Hysteroscopy Surgery?

Hysteroscopy is a minimally invasive imaging technique that doctors use for examining the uterus, without any need for extensive invasion. 

A thin, illuminated tube with a camera, known as a hysteroscope, is inserted into the uterus through the vaginal opening. With a clear view of the uterine cavity provided by this technique, medical professionals can identify and treat a number of gynaecological disorders.

Who is the candidate for Hysteroscopy Surgery?

Our team resorts to the use of hysteroscopic procedures for evaluating patients who present with symptoms of conditions like uterine fibroids and polyps, that are linked to the uterus.

This is only recommended after initial investigations like an assessment of the patient’s medical history, symptom evaluation and physical examination.

The procedure is not recommended for women who are pregnant or have severe pelvic infections.

What are the indications of Hysteroscopy Surgery?

Our experts may recommend you to undergo hysteroscopy for different reasons, the most common of which include:

• To confirm a diagnosis
• To determine the underlying cause of abnormal vaginal bleeding
• To assess and remove uterine growths like fibroids and polyps
• To precisely remove a malpositioned intrauterine device
• To detect any anomalies or malformations in the uterus
• To collect uterine tissue for biopsy
• In conjunction with procedures like endometrial ablation and laparoscopic procedures
• To remove uterine adhesions
• To determine and assess certain causes of infertility

Types of Hysteroscopy Surgery:

Based on the aim of the procedure, the procedure is broadly classified into two types. These are:

• Diagnostic Hysteroscopy: The aim of diagnostic hysteroscopy is to precisely visualize the uterus to check for the signs of various abnormalities, anomalies and medical conditions. This is done under the influence of local anaesthesia or general anaesthesia, without the need for cervical dilation in most of the cases.
• Operative Hysteroscopy: The aim of operative hysteroscopy is to visualize the uterus to treat different conditions affecting the uterus while adhering to a minimally invasive approach. This is usually done under the influence of general anaesthesia and calls for the need for cervical dilation.

Procedure

• A pelvic examination is done prior to the procedure to determine whether the patient needs cervical dilation or not.
• Hysteroscopy is done under the influence of general or local anaesthesia to ensure that you do not feel any pain or discomfort.
• The hysteroscope is carefully introduced into the uterus through the vaginal opening.
• A medicated solution is used to fill the uterine cavity to remove blood and mucus for clear visualization
• Your uterus will be examined by your doctor to check for any anomalies. Special instruments may be put through the hysteroscope to carry out appropriate treatments for problems that call for the need for immediate intervention. Hysteroscopy is used for visualization during endometrial ablation, resecting septums, or removing polyps or fibroids

Recovery

For a few days after the surgery, you can experience light cramps, spotting, or vaginal discharge. These symptoms should go away on their own because they are often transient.

It is important to refrain from strenuous activities and get enough rest. Our experts will give you detailed instructions related to your medication, activity limits, and when to get back to your regular schedule.
