Who is this surgery for?
- Investigation of abnormal uterine bleeding (heavy periods, bleeding between periods, or post-menopausal bleeding).

How to prepare
- Your doctor will review your medical history and may order pre-operative tests like a blood test, ultrasound, or pregnancy test.
- The procedure is typically scheduled for the first week after your menstrual period for optimal visualization.
- You may be advised to stop taking certain medications (like blood thinners) a few days before, as directed.
- Fasting for 6-8 hours before the procedure is usually required if sedation or general anesthesia is planned.
- Arrange for someone to drive you home afterwards, as you will not be able to drive due to the effects of anesthesia or sedation.
- Inform your doctor of any allergies or if you suspect you might be pregnant.
Risks & possible complications
- Infection: Risk of uterine or pelvic infection, though uncommon.
- Bleeding: Some vaginal spotting or bleeding is normal; heavy bleeding is rare.
- Perforation: A small hole in the uterine wall, which usually heals on its own but may rarely require further surgery.
- Reaction to Anesthesia: Risks associated with sedation or general anesthesia.
- Fluid Overload: Rare complication from the fluid used to expand the uterus during the procedure.
- Damage to nearby organs (bladder, bowel) is extremely rare.
- Cervical Injury during dilation.
- Failure to complete the procedure due to technical difficulties or severe adhesions.
Recovery & hospital stay
- You will be monitored in a recovery area for 1-2 hours until the effects of sedation wear off.
- Mild cramping (like period pain) and light spotting or discharge for a few days is normal.
- Over-the-counter pain relievers (like ibuprofen or paracetamol) are usually sufficient for discomfort.
- Avoid tampons, douching, and sexual intercourse for 1-2 weeks or as advised by your doctor to prevent infection.
- You can typically return to most normal activities within 1-2 days, but avoid strenuous exercise for about a week.
- Contact your doctor immediately if you experience fever, severe abdominal pain, heavy bleeding (soaking a pad per hour), or foul-smelling discharge.
- Attend any scheduled follow-up appointments to discuss biopsy results or further treatment plans.

Ayaan Malhotra, a 42-year-old software engineer...
Ayaan Malhotra, a 42-year-old software engineer and father of two, had been supporting his wife through years of fertility struggles. After she was diagnosed with severe Asherman's syndrome (uterine adhesions) following a complicated delivery, their dreams of expanding their family seemed lost. Her periods had become extremely light and painful. Their gynaecologist, Dr. Rao, recommended a hysteroscopy to both diagnose the extent of the scarring and potentially treat it. Ayaan felt a mix of anxiety and hope; this was a pivotal procedure for his wife's health and their shared future. On the day, he waited anxiously. The procedure was successful, and the doctor was able to remove the adhesions. In the recovery room, seeing his wife awake and hearing the positive news, his anxiety melted into profound relief. The emotional journey was from helpless observer to hopeful partner. Post-procedure, his wife's cycles normalized. Six months later, they received the joyful news of a pregnancy, transforming their long-held grief into cautious, then overwhelming, joy.
