This video by Dr. Sandhya Rani, Senior Consultant in Obstetrics and Gynecology at Aster Women and Children Hospital, provides a comprehensive overview of hysteroscopy, a minimally invasive procedure used to diagnose and treat uterine conditions.
What is Hysteroscopy?
Hysteroscopy is a procedure that allows doctors to examine the inside of the uterus using a thin, lighted tube called a hysteroscope. This procedure is often recommended for women experiencing abnormal menstrual bleeding, fertility issues, or other uterine problems.
When is Hysteroscopy Recommended?
Hysteroscopy may be recommended in the following situations:
- Abnormal menstrual bleeding (heavy, irregular, or bleeding between periods)
- Fertility problems
- Uterine polyps or fibroids
- Abnormal uterine shape
- Postmenopausal bleeding
Hysteroscopy Procedure
The hysteroscopy procedure involves inserting a hysteroscope through the vagina and cervix into the uterus. The doctor can then examine the uterine lining and identify any abnormalities. In some cases, the doctor may also perform a biopsy to collect tissue samples for further testing.
Benefits of Hysteroscopy
Hysteroscopy offers several advantages over traditional surgical procedures, including minimal invasiveness, shorter recovery time, less pain, lower risk of complications, preservation of the uterus
Hysteroscopy is a safe and effective procedure for diagnosing and treating a variety of uterine conditions. If you are experiencing any symptoms of uterine problems, consult with our gynecologists at Aster Women and Children Hospital to discuss whether hysteroscopy is right for you.
