Hysteroscopy Procedure at SHRC: Expert Care for Uterine Health
At SHRC, we offer advanced hysteroscopy procedures to diagnose and treat various uterine conditions that may affect women's reproductive health. Hysteroscopy is a minimally invasive procedure that allows our expert gynaecologists to examine the inside of the uterus, providing valuable insights into conditions like fibroids, polyps, uterine abnormalities, and more.
Hysteroscopy Procedures at SHRC:
Diagnostic Hysteroscopy:
This is performed to investigate symptoms like abnormal bleeding, pain, or fertility problems. During a diagnostic hysteroscopy, our surgeons examine the uterine lining and the cervix for any abnormalities such as fibroids, polyps, or adhesions (scar tissue).
Operative Hysteroscopy:
If any abnormalities are found during the diagnostic procedure, our team can perform corrective surgery immediately, without the need for a second procedure. Common conditions treated with operative hysteroscopy include:
Uterine fibroids
Fibroids: Removal of fibroids from the uterus
Polyps: Removal of polyps from the uterine lining
Septum: Correction of a uterine septum, a congenital abnormality where the uterus is divided by a wall of tissue
Adhesions: Removal of scar tissue that may cause infertility or chronic pain
Endometrial Ablation: A procedure to remove the uterine lining to treat heavy menstrual bleeding
Benefits of Hysteroscopy at SHRC:
Minimally Invasive:
Unlike traditional open surgery, hysteroscopy involves small incisions or no incisions at all, leading to faster recovery times and less post-operative pain.
High Precision:
With the use of advanced hysteroscopy equipment, SHRC ensures a detailed view of the uterine cavity, enabling precise diagnosis and treatment.
Outpatient Procedure:
In many cases, hysteroscopy can be performed on an outpatient basis, meaning you can return home the same day.
Quick Recovery:
Most patients are able to resume normal activities within a few days, with minimal downtime.
Fertility Preservation:
If performed for fertility-related reasons, hysteroscopy can improve the chances of successful pregnancy by removing uterine abnormalities.
Recovery After Hysteroscopy
Most patients experience mild cramping and light bleeding after the procedure, which typically resolves within a few days. We provide clear aftercare instructions and follow-up consultations to ensure a smooth recovery process and to address any concerns.
