Advanced Uterine Evaluation & Treatment at Paramaa Fertility & Women Care Centre
Hysteroscopy is one of the most precise and minimally invasive procedures used in modern gynecology to evaluate and treat conditions inside the uterus. Many causes of infertility, abnormal bleeding, and recurrent pregnancy loss originate within the uterine cavity—and hysteroscopy allows direct visualization and correction of these issues.
At Paramaa Fertility & Women Care Centre, hysteroscopy is performed under the expert supervision of Dr. Paramita Hazari using advanced equipment and evidence-based techniques. Our approach focuses on accurate diagnosis, gentle intervention, and preservation of fertility.
For many women, hysteroscopy provides both answers and solutions in a single procedure.
What is Hysteroscopy?
Hysteroscopy is a procedure in which a thin, telescope-like instrument (hysteroscope) is inserted through the vagina and cervix into the uterus. This allows the doctor to directly examine the inner lining of the uterus (endometrium) in real time.
Unlike abdominal surgery, hysteroscopy:
- Does not require external incisions
- Is minimally invasive
- Provides direct visualization of the uterine cavity
This makes it one of the most accurate methods to diagnose intrauterine conditions.
Types of Hysteroscopy
Hysteroscopy can be broadly classified into:
Diagnostic Hysteroscopy
Performed to evaluate abnormalities inside the uterus.
Operative Hysteroscopy
Performed to treat or correct detected abnormalities during the same procedure.
At Paramaa, both diagnostic and operative procedures are often combined for efficiency and better patient outcomes.
When is Hysteroscopy Recommended?
Hysteroscopy may be advised in a variety of gynecological and fertility-related conditions:
- Abnormal uterine bleeding
- Heavy or irregular periods
- Recurrent miscarriage
- Infertility (especially repeated IVF failure)
- Suspected uterine polyps or fibroids
- Uterine adhesions (Asherman’s syndrome)
- Congenital uterine abnormalities (septum)
- Thickened endometrium
- Retained products of conception
It is especially valuable when ultrasound findings are inconclusive or when direct evaluation is required.
Conditions Diagnosed Through Hysteroscopy
Hysteroscopy allows accurate identification of several intrauterine conditions:
Endometrial Polyps
Small growths in the uterine lining that may interfere with implantation.
Submucous Fibroids
Fibroids located inside the uterine cavity, often affecting fertility and causing heavy bleeding.
Uterine Septum
A congenital partition within the uterus that may lead to miscarriage.
Intrauterine Adhesions
Scar tissue that can block or distort the uterine cavity.
Endometrial Abnormalities
Irregular thickening or inflammation of the uterine lining.
Role in Infertility Treatment
Hysteroscopy plays a crucial role in fertility evaluation and management.
It helps:
- Identify implantation problems
- Improve uterine environment before IVF
- Remove obstacles like polyps or fibroids
- Treat adhesions affecting embryo implantation
Many cases of repeated IVF failure or unexplained infertility are linked to uterine abnormalities that can only be detected through hysteroscopy.
Hysteroscopy Procedure: Step-by-Step
The procedure is usually performed as a day-care procedure.
1. Preparation
The patient is prepared, and anesthesia may be given depending on the procedure.
2. Insertion of Hysteroscope
The hysteroscope is gently inserted through the cervix into the uterus.
3. Uterine Distension
Fluid is used to expand the uterine cavity for clear visualization.
4. Examination
The uterine lining is carefully examined.
5. Treatment (if required)
Polyps, fibroids, or adhesions may be removed during the same procedure.
6. Completion
The instrument is removed, and the patient is observed for a short period.
Duration & Recovery
- Procedure time: 15–30 minutes
