Understanding Treatment

What Is Hysteroscopy Treatment?

Hysteroscopy is a procedure that allows a gynaecologist to view the inside of the uterus using a thin instrument with a light and camera. The instrument passes through the vagina and cervix, so the hysteroscope itself does not require an abdominal incision.

Depending on the reason for the procedure, hysteroscopy may be diagnostic, meaning it is used to investigate a concern, or operative, meaning it is used to treat a suitable abnormality. The treatment plan may involve examination, biopsy or removal of selected tissue.

When considering Hysteroscopy Treatment in Chennai, patients should understand the purpose of the procedure, possible alternatives, pain-relief options and the expected follow-up.

Conditions and Concerns

Conditions That May Be Managed With Hysteroscopy

Your doctor may recommend hysteroscopy when symptoms or earlier investigations suggest a problem inside the uterine cavity.

Uterine Polyps

Hysteroscopy can help identify endometrial polyps and may allow suitable polyps to be removed during the same procedure.

Abnormal Uterine Bleeding

It may help investigate certain causes of bleeding between periods, unusually heavy periods or other unexplained uterine bleeding.

Selected Uterine Fibroids

Some fibroids that extend into the uterine cavity may be assessed and treated hysteroscopically, depending on their size and position.

Intrauterine Adhesions

Hysteroscopy can help assess scar tissue or adhesions inside the uterus and may be used to treat selected cases.

Endometrial Assessment

Direct examination and a tissue sample may be considered when further assessment of the uterine lining is clinically appropriate.

Unclear Scan Findings

Hysteroscopy may be useful for clarifying selected findings seen on ultrasound or other investigations.

Individualised Care

Types of Hysteroscopy Treatment

Diagnostic Hysteroscopy

This procedure allows the doctor to inspect the uterine cavity and investigate a concern that may not be fully explained by symptoms or imaging alone.

  • Examination of the uterine lining
  • Investigation of selected causes of abnormal bleeding
  • Assessment of suspected polyps or cavity abnormalities
  • Biopsy where clinically indicated

Operative Hysteroscopy

During operative hysteroscopy, specialised instruments are passed through the hysteroscope to treat suitable abnormalities within the uterus.

  • Removal of suitable endometrial polyps
  • Treatment of selected fibroids within the uterine cavity
  • Management of certain intrauterine adhesions
  • Other targeted procedures based on the findings

Not every uterine condition can be treated with hysteroscopy. Some conditions require medication, monitoring, another procedure or a different surgical approach.
