AREAS OF SPECIALTY
A Clear View into Uterine Health for Accurate Diagnosis & Treatment
Hysteroscopy is a minimally invasive procedure used to diagnose and treat various conditions inside the uterus. It involves the use of a thin, lighted tube called a hysteroscope, which is inserted through the vagina and cervix to view the uterine cavity in real time—without any incisions.
At IshwaIVF, our expert team uses advanced hysteroscopic techniques to treat uterine abnormalities that may affect fertility, menstrual health, or cause recurrent pregnancy loss. It’s safe, effective, and typically performed as a day-care procedure.
Why is Hysteroscopy Performed?
Hysteroscopy is commonly used to evaluate and treat:
- Intrauterine adhesions (Asherman’s syndrome)
- Septate uterus or congenital uterine abnormalities
- Repeated miscarriage evaluation
- Infertility causes related to the uterus
- Removal of retained products of conception
- Diagnosis of endometrial hyperplasia or cancer
What to Expect During a Hysteroscopy
Before the Procedure:
A physical examination and some basic tests (like ultrasound) may be done. Your doctor may recommend timing the procedure based on your menstrual cycle.
During the Procedure:
A thin hysteroscope is inserted through the cervix into the uterus. The uterine cavity is filled with fluid or gas for better visibility. It usually takes 15 to 45 minutes depending on whether it’s diagnostic or operative.
After the Procedure:
Most patients return home the same day. Some mild cramping or spotting is normal and resolves within a few days. Recovery is quick, and normal activities can usually be resumed within 24–48 hours.
