Unsuccessful attempts to get pregnant, miscarriages, menstrual disorders, bleeding from the reproductive tract, the presence of adhesions, myomas, polyps in the uterus or an abnormal shape of the uterus are indications for hysteroscopy. What does it involve and is it invasive? How do I prepare for it?

What does hysteroscopy involve?

Hysteroscopy is another way of viewing the uterus. It involves inserting a thin, 4mm Bettocchi hysteroscope through the vagina and cervix. Thanks to the camera inside, the doctor can see and assess the inside of the uterus on a monitor. If necessary, small sections are taken for histopathological examination to exclude cancerous lesions. During the examination, it is also possible to remove smaller lesions that prevent the patient from becoming pregnant. The examination is minimally invasive and short, lasting several minutes. It does not require anaesthesia or special preparations. However, it is worth remembering not to use the toilet before entering the office. A filled bladder will make the doctor's task easier. The best time for the examination is in the first few days after your period ends.

What are the indications for the study?

- unsuccessful efforts to have a child

- miscarriages

- abnormal shape and size of the uterus

- intrauterine adhesions, septa, polyps, myomas

- bleeding occurring from an unknown cause

- disturbances in the menstrual cycle

- suspected rupture of the uterine wall

- taking biopsy specimens for histopathological examination

Hysteroscopy is one of the important investigations to help determine the cause of infertility. It is worth performing if so advised by your doctor.
