Hysteroscopy is an endoscopic procedure that is used to visualize the inside of the uterus (uterine cavity) with a telescopic camera. The name is a combination of hysteroscope, a thin tube that has a light attached at one end, which is inserted into the uterus through the vaginal cavity.
Hysteroscopy is a very important procedure in assisted reproduction techniques, as the embryo implantation takes place in the uterine cavity. Recognizing the intrauterine causes for infertility usually defined by hysteroscopy is another aspect of hysteroscopy. It also helps to diagnose conditions which can lead to infertility.
It consists of the local anesthesia-related intravenous injection of the hysteroscope within the uterine cavity, which is fitted with a lens connected to a monitor or television screen. The independent view of hysteroscopy is with or without anesthesia; the woman may be given drugs to make her more relaxed.
The scope is then inserted to see the interior of the uterus. This requires dilating the cavity with saline solution, which expands the cavity, allowing a clear view of the endometrial cavity and lining, openings of the fallopian tubes from the inside, and the irregularities in the uterus.
Common deviations visible inside the uterus are:
Polyps
Adhesions
Scarring/fibrous coating of the uterine cavity
Septum-complete or incomplete
Submucosal fibroids.
Hysteroscopy is a surgical procedure where complications might transpire after its procedure, such as:
Anesthesia-associated complications
Infection
Rarely, a tear or laceration of the cervix
Excessive instilled gas or fluid in the uterus
Damage to nearby organs, including the bladder, bowel, and ovaries
Pelvic inflammatory disease
After the surgery, some may feel mild cramps or experience light bleeding, which may last several days. The doctor can give you pain relief and ask you to refrain from sexual intercourse for a while after that.
Although hysteroscopy is nowadays a fairly common procedure, it remains to be performed by skilled experts with due care and precaution for patient safety.
