Hysteroscopy is the visual overview of the uterus that reveals and treats the pathology of the interior (endometrium), the area where the fetus is going to implant.
What are the indications for an Operative Hysteroscopy:
- Endometrial polyps
- Fibroids
- Adhesions
- Endometrial osseous metaplasis
- And uterine anatomical abnormalities, such as: Bicornuate uterus & Septum
During hysteroscopy a special instrument (hysteroscope) is inserted through the vagina and the cervix, while anesthesia is necessary. The recovery is immediate and the woman can go back to her normal activities on the same day.
Diagnostic hysteroscopy is the same procedure as the hysteroscope is inserted throught the cervix to the uterine cavity and sedation is acquired in order to avoid any discomfort.
Especially in cases of repeated unsuccessful In Vitro Fertilization attempts, hysteroscopy is imposed since in this way uterine anatomical abnormalities of the uterine cavity are revealed and repaired.
Hysteroscopic correction of these abnormalities leads faster to the desired result, namely pregnancy and birth.
The recent medical studies reveal that embryotransfers in women who underwent hysteroscopy have higher percentages on positive pregnancy tests and livebirths results either diagnostical or operatives hysteroscopies .
Although simple in technique, is reliable and efficient, economical and easily tolerated for every woman.
