What is Hysteroscopy?
💡 Hysteroscopy is a procedure using a thin, lighted camera (hysteroscope) inserted through the cervix to visualise the uterine cavity. It diagnoses and treats polyps, fibroids, adhesions, and uterine septum — correcting implantation barriers before IVF.
Hysteroscopy is a procedure used to examine the inside of the uterus. A thin, lighted camera called a hysteroscope is inserted through the cervix. The doctor views the uterine cavity on a monitor. Abnormalities such as polyps, fibroids, adhesions, or a uterine septum can be found and treated in the same session. Hysteroscopy is common in women with unexplained infertility or recurrent miscarriage. It is also done before IVF to ensure the uterine environment is ready for embryo implantation.
🇮🇳 India Context: Hysteroscopy is widely assessed and treated across major Indian fertility centres including Chennai, Mumbai, Bangalore, Delhi, and Hyderabad.
