Hysteroscopy

Hysteroscopy is a minimally invasive procedure that allows gynaecologists to examine and treat problems inside the uterus using a hysteroscope—a thin, lighted tube with a camera. This advanced technique is used for both diagnostic and surgical purposes, offering a safe and effective way to address a variety of uterine conditions. Dr. Kanchi Khurana, a highly skilled gynaecologist, specializes in performing hysteroscopy with precision and care, ensuring the best possible outcomes for her patients.

Hysteroscopy is a procedure that involves inserting a hysteroscope through the vagina and cervix into the uterus. The hysteroscope transmits images to a monitor, allowing the doctor to visualize the uterine cavity and diagnose or treat abnormalities. There are two types of hysteroscopy:

• Diagnostic Hysteroscopy: Used to identify uterine issues such as abnormal bleeding, polyps, or fibroids.
• Operative Hysteroscopy: Used to treat identified issues, such as removing polyps, fibroids, or scar tissue.

Hysteroscopy may be recommended to diagnose or treat a variety of uterine conditions, including:

• Abnormal Uterine Bleeding: Heavy, prolonged, or irregular menstrual bleeding.
• Uterine Polyps or Fibroids: Non-cancerous growths in the uterus.
• Adhesions (Asherman’s Syndrome): Scar tissue in the uterus that can cause infertility or menstrual irregularities.
• Septum or Other Congenital Abnormalities: Structural issues in the uterus present from birth.
• Infertility or Recurrent Miscarriages: To identify and treat uterine factors affecting fertility.
• Removal of Intrauterine Devices (IUDs): If an IUD is misplaced or embedded.

Hysteroscopy offers several advantages over traditional surgical methods:

• Minimally Invasive: No abdominal incisions are required.
• Accurate Diagnosis: Provides a clear view of the uterine cavity.
• Quick Recovery: Most patients return to normal activities within 1-2 days.
• Less Pain: Reduced postoperative pain compared to open surgery.
• Outpatient Procedure: Often performed in a clinic or hospital setting without the need for an overnight stay.
