Hysteroscopic procedures are minimally invasive techniques used to diagnose and treat various conditions of the uterus. These procedures involve inserting a thin, lighted tube called a hysteroscope through the cervix into the uterus, allowing visualization and treatment of the uterine cavity without the need for abdominal incisions.
Key areas of hysteroscopic practice include:
Hysteroscopic procedures typically use saline solution to expand the uterine cavity for better visualization. They may be performed under local or general anesthesia, depending on the specific procedure and patient factors. Recovery time is often shorter compared to traditional surgical approaches.
The choice of hysteroscopic procedure depends on the specific condition being treated, the patient’s overall health, and their reproductive goals. As with any medical procedure, hysteroscopy carries potential risks and benefits, which should be thoroughly discussed with a healthcare provider.
Advancements in hysteroscopic technologies continue to expand the range of conditions that can be treated using these techniques. Patients considering hysteroscopic procedures should consult with their gynecologist to determine the most appropriate treatment plan for their individual circumstances.
