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.
