Is hysteroscopy a major operation?

No. It is a minimally invasive procedure performed through the vagina and cervix, without any external incision.

How long does recovery take?

Most patients return to normal activity within a day or two. Recovery time depends on whether the hysteroscopy was diagnostic only or included a treatment procedure.

Can hysteroscopy improve fertility?

Yes, where a polyp, fibroid, septum or adhesion is affecting the uterine cavity, removing it can improve the chance of a pregnancy implanting and continuing.

Is anaesthesia required?

Diagnostic hysteroscopy can often be done with minimal or no anaesthesia. Operative hysteroscopy, where a fibroid or septum is treated, is usually done under sedation or general anaesthesia.

When is hysteroscopy done before an IVF transfer?

It is sometimes recommended to check the uterine cavity is normal before an embryo transfer, particularly after a previous failed cycle.

Who this is for

Women with abnormal bleeding, a suspected uterine polyp or fibroid on ultrasound, recurrent implantation failure, or a suspected uterine septum or intrauterine adhesion.

Conditions treated

What hysteroscopy addresses
Condition	How hysteroscopy helps
Endometrial polyp	Direct visualisation and removal of the polyp
Submucous fibroid	Resection of fibroid distorting the uterine cavity
Intrauterine adhesions	Division of scar tissue restoring normal cavity shape
Uterine septum	Incision of the septum to create a single, normal cavity

Evaluation

A pelvic ultrasound, often with saline infusion, identifies the abnormality first. Hysteroscopy is then planned either as a diagnostic look, or combined with treatment in the same sitting where feasible.

The procedure

1
Preparation
Timed to the appropriate point in your cycle, with anaesthesia planned according to whether treatment is expected.
2
Hysteroscopy
A narrow camera is passed through the cervix into the uterine cavity, which is examined and, if needed, treated.
3
Recovery
Most patients go home the same day, with light spotting and mild cramping for a day or two being normal.

Heavy bleeding, fever, or severe pain after the procedure should be reported promptly.

Recovery and aftercare

Most women resume normal activity within one to two days. Intercourse and strenuous exercise are usually avoided for a short period as advised at your follow-up visit, which also reviews the findings and results of any tissue sent for testing.
