What is Hysteroscopy Surgery?

Hysteroscopy refers to a surgical procedure used to examine the uterus. It involves the insertion of a thin, illuminated instrument called a hysteroscope through the vagina and cervix into the uterine cavity. This procedure allows healthcare professionals to directly visualize the inside of the uterus and diagnose or treat various gynaecological conditions. Hysteroscopy can help identify issues like abnormal bleeding, polyps, fibroids, adhesions, or other structural abnormalities. It is typically performed on an outpatient basis and is considered a minimally invasive technique, offering advantages such as shorter recovery time, minimal scarring, and reduced discomfort compared to traditional open surgeries.

When is Hysteroscopy Test Recommended?

Hysteroscopy is recommended in IVF (In Vitro Fertilization) when there is a need to assess the uterine cavity for any potential abnormalities that could impact the success of the procedure. It is typically performed prior to the IVF cycle to ensure optimal conditions for embryo implantation. Hysteroscopy helps identify issues like uterine polyps, fibroids, scar tissue, or congenital abnormalities that may interfere with implantation or pregnancy. By detecting and treating these conditions, hysteroscopy can improve the chances of successful embryo implantation and increase the likelihood of a successful IVF outcome. This procedure plays a vital role in the comprehensive evaluation of the uterine environment and assists in optimizing the chances of achieving a successful pregnancy through IVF.

What are the benefits of a Hysteroscopy Procedure?

There are several benefits of Hysteroscopy in infertility testing and treatment. It allows direct visualisation of the uterine cavity, enabling the detection and removal of abnormalities that may hinder conception. Compared to traditional testing techniques, Hysteroscopy surgery is less invasive, offers better accuracy, and reduces the need for multiple procedures. At Indira IVF Clinic in Nepal, our expert doctors utilise this advanced procedure to improve fertility outcomes by addressing uterine factors that may contribute to infertility.

What is a Hysteroscopy procedure?

Below are the key steps involved in a Hysteroscopy Procedure:

  1. Preparation:Before the procedure, the patient may be given anaesthesia or a sedative to minimize discomfort. The doctor may also dilate the cervix to allow for the insertion of the hysteroscope.
  2. Insertion:The hysteroscope, a thin, lighted instrument, is carefully inserted through the vagina and cervix and into the uterus. Carbon dioxide gas or a fluid solution may be used to expand the uterine cavity, providing better visibility.
  3. Visual Examination: As the hysteroscope is advanced, it allows the doctor to visualize the uterine lining and look for any abnormalities. The images may be displayed on a monitor for a clear view.
  4. Treatment (if necessary): If any issues are detected, additional instruments can be passed through the hysteroscope to perform treatments. This may include removing polyps, fibroids, adhesions, or taking samples for biopsy.
  5. Completion:Once the examination and any necessary treatments are completed, the hysteroscope is gently removed, and the procedure is concluded.

What are the risks and complications of Hysteroscopy?

Hysteroscopy is generally a safe procedure, but like any medical intervention, it carries some risks. Possible complications of hysteroscopy include uterine perforation, infection, bleeding, and damage to surrounding organs. However, these complications are rare and occur in less than 1% of cases. At Indira IVF, our experienced fertility experts prioritise patient safety and take all necessary precautions to minimise the risks associated with Hysteroscopy. Rest assured that your well-being is our utmost priority throughout the entire procedure.

What is the success rate of IVF post Hysteroscopy?

The success rate of IVF post hysteroscopy can vary depending on individual factors and the specific reason for the hysteroscopy. However, hysteroscopy is often performed to optimize the uterine environment for embryo implantation. By addressing any abnormalities or removing obstacles, it can potentially improve the success rate of IVF by enhancing the chances of successful embryo implantation and pregnancy.

What is the Hysteroscopy Cost in Nepal?
