About Hysteroscopy

Hysteroscopy is a minimally invasive diagnostic and surgical procedure performed by an Obstetrician and Gynaecologist to examine the inside of the uterus (womb). A thin, lighted telescope called a hysteroscope is gently inserted through the vagina and cervix into the uterine cavity. This allows the doctor to directly visualize the endometrium (uterine lining) and the openings of the fallopian tubes. Hysteroscopy is invaluable for investigating and treating various uterine conditions, such as abnormal bleeding, polyps, fibroids, or adhesions. It can be performed as an outpatient procedure, often with minimal discomfort and a rapid recovery, making it a cornerstone of modern gynaecological care for both diagnosis and treatment.

Key Highlights

Who is this surgery for?

  • Investigation of abnormal uterine bleeding (heavy periods, bleeding between periods, or post-menopausal bleeding).
  • Diagnosis and removal of uterine polyps or fibroids (submucosal).
  • Evaluation and treatment of intrauterine adhesions (Asherman's syndrome).
  • Assessment of congenital uterine abnormalities (septum, bicornuate uterus).
  • Locating and removing a lost intrauterine device (IUD).
  • Evaluation of infertility or recurrent pregnancy loss.
  • Performing a sterilization procedure (e.g., hysteroscopic tubal occlusion).
  • Taking a targeted biopsy of the endometrial lining.

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.
  • checked Typical hospital stay: 0-1 days (Outpatient/Day Care)
  • checked Expected recovery time: 1-7 days
