Hysteroscopy Surgery
A hysteroscopy is used to diagnose and treat problems of the uterus or womb.
Why would I need a hysteroscopy?
Hysteroscopy is generally used to diagnose and treat diseases that result in abnormal uterine bleeding, excessive menstrual bleeding, irregular spotting between cycles, and menopausal bleeding.
Hysteroscopy may be used by your doctor to diagnose and treat the following uterine conditions:
- Polyps and fibroids: These uterine structural abnormalities are detected and removed through hysteroscopy. A hysteroscopy polypectomy is the surgical excision of a polyp. A hysteroscopy myomectomy is the surgical excision of a fibroid.
- Uterine adhesions, also known as Asherman’s syndrome, are bands of scar tissue that can form in your uterus and cause alterations in menstrual flow and infertility. Hysteroscopy can assist your doctor in locating and removing adhesions.
- Septums: Hysteroscopy can help establish whether you have a uterine septum, which is a congenital abnormality of the uterus.
Hysteroscopy can also be used to:
- Determine the reason for recurrent losses or reproductive issues
- Look for an intrauterine device (IUD)
- After birth, diagnose and remove placental tissue
