Hysteroscopy at Wish fertility

At Wish fertility, we are dedicated to providing comprehensive fertility care, including diagnostic procedures that offer valuable insights into our patients' reproductive health. Hysteroscopy is one such advanced technique that allows us to examine the uterine cavity and diagnose any potential abnormalities that may be affecting a woman's fertility. Our team of skilled specialists is proficient in performing hysteroscopy with precision and care, paving the way for more informed and effective fertility treatments.

What is Hysteroscopy?

Hysteroscopy is a minimally invasive diagnostic procedure that involves the use of a thin, lighted telescope-like instrument called a hysteroscope. This slender device is gently inserted through the cervix into the uterus, allowing our fertility experts to directly visualize the uterine cavity and the openings of the fallopian tubes. The procedure provides real-time images, enabling our team to identify and evaluate any structural irregularities that may be affecting fertility, such as uterine polyps, fibroids, scar tissue, or congenital anomalies.

How Hysteroscopy Helps in Fertility Assessment

Hysteroscopy is a valuable tool in the evaluation of various fertility issues, including

1. Uterine Abnormalities:
Hysteroscopy allows us to assess the shape and size of the uterus and detect any abnormalities, such as uterine septum (a partition in the uterus), intrauterine adhesions (scar tissue), or congenital malformations.
2. Polyps and Fibroids
Hysteroscopy provides a clear view of any polyps (small growths) or fibroids (non-cancerous tumors) that may be present within the uterine cavity. These growths can potentially interfere with implantation or cause miscarriages.
3. Scar Tissue
Previous surgeries, such as dilation and curettage (D&C) for miscarriage or abortion, can lead to the formation of scar tissue within the uterus. Hysteroscopy helps identify and potentially remove this tissue to improve fertility.
4. Abnormal Uterine Bleeding:
Women experiencing abnormal uterine bleeding or other menstrual irregularities may benefit from hysteroscopy to investigate the underlying causes.

The Hysteroscopy Procedure

1. Preparation:
Hysteroscopy is usually performed as an outpatient procedure and does not require an overnight hospital stay. It is typically scheduled during the first half of the menstrual cycle when the uterine lining is thin.
2. Anesthesia:
Depending on the individual case and the extent of the procedure, hysteroscopy can be done with local anesthesia, conscious sedation, or general anesthesia to ensure patient comfort.
3. Insertion of Hysteroscope
The hysteroscope is gently introduced through the cervix into the uterine cavity. A saline solution may be used to expand the uterus for better visualization.
4. Visualization and Diagnosis
As the hysteroscope is moved through the uterine cavity, our fertility specialists carefully examine the uterine lining and structures to identify any abnormalities.
5. Potential Treatment
If any treatable conditions, such as polyps or adhesions, are detected during hysteroscopy, they can often be addressed and treated during the same procedure.
