Hysteroscopy
Hysteroscopy is a minimally invasive procedure that allows direct visualization of the uterine cavity to diagnose and treat conditions such as polyps, fibroids, adhesions, and uterine septum that can affect fertility and implantation.
Treatment Process
Pre-Procedure Assessment
Ultrasound or imaging review to identify the suspected uterine condition.
Hysteroscope Insertion
A thin, lighted scope is passed through the cervix to directly visualize the uterine cavity, with no external incisions.
Diagnosis & Treatment
Abnormalities such as polyps, adhesions, or septum are identified and treated in the same procedure where possible.
Recovery
Most patients recover quickly with minimal downtime.
