Hysteroscopy is a minimally invasive procedure that allows our gynecologists to examine the inside of the uterus using a thin, lighted telescope-like instrument called a hysteroscope. This advanced technique enables both diagnosis and treatment of various uterine conditions with minimal discomfort and faster recovery.
At Shreeya Hospital, we use state-of-the-art hysteroscopy equipment to provide accurate diagnosis and effective treatment of intrauterine conditions. Our experienced gynecologists perform both diagnostic and operative hysteroscopy procedures with precision and care.
Diagnostic and operative procedures for comprehensive uterine care
Used to examine the uterine cavity and diagnose the cause of abnormal symptoms. The hysteroscope is inserted through the cervix to visualize the inside of the uterus.
Combines diagnosis with treatment by using specialized instruments through the hysteroscope to correct detected problems during the same procedure.
Comprehensive treatment for various uterine conditions
Removal of benign growths attached to the inner wall of the uterus that can cause irregular bleeding or fertility issues.
Treatment of fibroids that grow into the uterine cavity, causing heavy bleeding and reproductive problems.
Correction of a congenital malformation where a wall of tissue divides the uterine cavity, affecting fertility.
Treatment of intrauterine adhesions (scar tissue) that can cause amenorrhea and infertility.
Investigation and treatment of the source of unexplained heavy or irregular uterine bleeding.
Guided tissue sampling for accurate diagnosis of endometrial abnormalities or cancer screening.

Common questions about hysteroscopy procedures
Diagnostic hysteroscopy is usually performed with local anesthesia or mild sedation and causes minimal discomfort. Operative hysteroscopy is performed under general or spinal anesthesia, so you won't feel pain during the procedure. After the procedure, you may experience mild cramping similar to menstrual cramps, which can be managed with over-the-counter pain medication.
Diagnostic hysteroscopy typically takes 10-15 minutes, while operative hysteroscopy may take 30-60 minutes depending on the complexity of the treatment required. Most procedures are completed within an hour, and you can go home the same day.
Recovery is generally quick. Most patients can return to normal activities within 1-2 days. You may experience light bleeding or spotting for a few days and mild cramping. Avoid sexual intercourse, tampons, and douching for about a week or as advised by your doctor. Heavy lifting and strenuous exercise should be avoided for a few days.
No, hysteroscopy does not negatively affect fertility. In fact, it often improves fertility by treating conditions that may be preventing pregnancy, such as uterine polyps, fibroids, or adhesions. Many women successfully conceive after hysteroscopic treatment of fertility-related issues.
Hysteroscopy is typically scheduled during the first week after your menstrual period ends (follicular phase of the cycle). This timing provides the best visualization of the uterine cavity as the endometrial lining is thinnest. Your doctor will help you determine the optimal timing based on your specific situation.
