What is Hysteroscopy?
Hysteroscopy is a minimally invasive procedure used to examine and treat conditions of the uterus. The procedure involves inserting a thin, lighted tube (hysteroscope) through the vagina and cervix to inspect the uterine cavity. Hysteroscopy indications include diagnosing abnormal bleeding, investigating infertility, removing uterine fibroids or polyps, and treating intrauterine adhesions or septa. This procedure aims to provide accurate diagnosis and treatment with minimal discomfort and faster Hysteroscopy recovery.
Hysteroscopy Techniques
- Diagnostic Hysteroscopy: This technique is used to inspect the uterine cavity and diagnose various uterine conditions.
- Operative Hysteroscopy: Allows for therapeutic procedures such as polyp or fibroid removal, tissue resection, or adhesion lysis during the hysteroscopy.
- Office Hysteroscopy: Performed in a clinic setting without general anesthesia, used for minor diagnostic procedures and evaluations.
- Resectoscopic Hysteroscopy: A more extensive operative hysteroscopy technique using a specialized hysteroscopy with resection capabilities.
- Fluid Management Systems: Utilized during hysteroscopy to maintain clear visibility and control intrauterine pressure.
