Hysteroscopy

Hysteroscopy is a modern minimally invasive method used for accurate diagnosis and treatment of uterine cavity conditions. The procedure is performed using a special optical instrument — a hysteroscope, which is inserted through the vagina and cervical canal without incisions or traumatic interventions.

This approach allows the physician to assess the condition of the uterine lining in real time, detect pathological changes, and, if necessary, immediately perform therapeutic procedures. Due to its high accuracy and excellent visualization, hysteroscopy is considered one of the most informative and gentle methods in modern gynecology.

Advantages of Hysteroscopy

Hysteroscopy combines diagnostic capabilities with therapeutic potential, making it one of the most effective procedures for intrauterine pathology.

• No incisions or postoperative sutures
• High diagnostic accuracy
• Possibility of simultaneous treatment
• Minimal tissue trauma
• Short recovery period

Visual control during the procedure allows the physician to perform all actions with maximum precision, reducing the risk of complications and increasing the effectiveness of treatment.

Types of Hysteroscopy

Depending on the clinical task, the procedure may be performed in several forms:

• Diagnostic — used to detect pathological changes in the uterine cavity
• Therapeutic (operative) — allows immediate correction of detected abnormalities
• Follow-up — performed to evaluate the results of previous treatment

Indications

Hysteroscopy is used for various gynecological conditions associated with uterine cavity pathology:

• Abnormal uterine bleeding of unknown origin
• Endometrial polyps
• Submucosal fibroids
• Endometrial hyperplasia
• Intrauterine adhesions
• Infertility
• Suspected uterine malformations

The method helps not only to clarify the diagnosis but also, in some cases, to eliminate the cause of the pathology immediately.

How the Procedure Is Performed

Hysteroscopy is performed in a gynecological chair under local or general anesthesia, depending on the extent of the procedure and the patient’s individual characteristics.

A thin hysteroscope equipped with a video camera is inserted through the cervix into the uterine cavity. The image is displayed on a monitor, allowing the physician to thoroughly examine the inner surface of the uterus and assess the condition of the endometrium.

If necessary, additional therapeutic procedures can be performed during the intervention:

• Removal of polyps
• Removal of submucosal fibroids
• Dissection of intrauterine adhesions
• Endometrial biopsy
• Removal of other intrauterine lesions

The procedure usually lasts about 20–30 minutes, although the exact duration depends on the clinical situation and the extent of the intervention.

Preparation for Hysteroscopy

Before the procedure, the patient undergoes an examination necessary to assess health status and rule out contraindications:

• Blood and urine tests
• Infection screening (swabs)
• Pelvic ultrasound
• Consultations with specialists if needed

Such preparation increases the safety of the procedure and helps the physician choose the optimal treatment strategy.

Recovery After the Procedure

Hysteroscopy usually does not require prolonged hospitalization. In most cases, the patient can return to normal daily activities within 1–2 days.

After the procedure, mild lower abdominal discomfort and moderate discharge may occur, which typically resolve on their own and do not require special treatment.

Why Choose Hysteroscopy

Hysteroscopy is rightfully considered one of the main methods for diagnosing intrauterine pathology. It combines high diagnostic value, minimal invasiveness, and the possibility of immediate treatment.

This procedure is especially valuable in cases of infertility, menstrual disorders, polyps, endometrial hyperplasia, and other uterine conditions. Modern technologies make hysteroscopy максимально comfortable, precise, and safe for the patient.
