Hysteroscopy is an endoscopic technique used to examine the inside of uterus. A long, fine camera (hysteroscope) is inserted through the cervical opening within the vaginal canal. This camera projects video pictures of the uterine cavity on a high-resolution screen. Endoscopic procedure could be a kind of minimally invasive surgery. No incisions are required on the abdominal skin.
Hysteroscopy is performed to make a diagnosis (diagnostic hysteroscopy) or to hold out a therapeutic procedure (operative hysteroscopy).

A biopsy may be taken from the lining of uterus. Hysteroscopy combined with uterine lining biopsy could be a extremely accurate test to rule out cancer arising from uterine lining. It may also make sure the diagnosis of polyps and fibroids on the lining of uterine wall.
Hysteroscopy permits the surgeon to visualize clearly uterine cavity. However, it doesn't help in visualisation of structures outside the uterine cavity like ovaries or other pelvic organs. If evaluation of those organs is required, our specialist might arrange other tests like a pelvic ultrasound scan or a laparoscopy, which might be done either in the same sitting or scheduled at a later date.
Hysteroscopy is a single-day procedure. A diagnostic hysteroscopy sometimes lasts for fewer than half an hour. Patients will go back on the same day of procedure . Recovery takes about one or two days.
It can be done in an out-patient clinic, though many women might value more highly to have it in a proper operation theatre after putting under sleep (general anaesthesia). The selection is based on the individual tolerance to the procedure, previous normal deliveries or cervical surgery, the probability of presence of pathology and if any operative procedures have to be done at the same time.
After a hysteroscopy, you'll stay within the recovery room for a few of hours till you have recovered well from general anaesthesia, if it's used. You'll have some bleeding from the vagina like a menstrual period. Bleeding will settle down within few days. It's common to experience some dull pain over the lower abdomen, similar to menstrual cramp. Pain usually resolves after some rest within the evening following the surgery. Simple analgesics like Panadol or Napropen will help. Most women will resume normal activities in a day or two. Our doctor can offer a lot of directions on post-operative care before you go home.
We also use hysteroscopy to carry out surgical procedures to correct several gynaecological issues like:
Removing fibroids inside the uterine cavity (hysteroscopic myomectomy).
Removing polyps on the lining of uterus (hysteroscopic polypectomy).
Treatment of heavy menstrual period (hysteroscopic resection of endometrium).
Permanent contraception (hysteroscopic tubal occlusion - Essure).
Removing adhesions and septum inside uterus ( Hysteroscopic intra uterine adhesiolysis and Hysteroscopic septal Rescection).
Fertility treatment - releasing blockage of fallopian tubes (Hysteroscopic tubal cannulation).
