Operative Hysteroscopy
Operative hysteroscopy uses instruments passed through a hysteroscope to treat selected problems inside the uterus.
What it can treat
Depending on the diagnosis, treatment may include removing a polyp or a suitable fibroid, or addressing scar tissue. The planned treatment should be explained before consent.
Preparing for treatment
Preparation and anesthesia depend on the procedure and your health. Tell the team about medicines, allergies and possible pregnancy, and follow any fasting instructions provided.
After the procedure
The doctor explains recovery, tissue testing and further care. Bleeding, infection, uterine perforation and fluid-related complications are possible. Seek advice if symptoms worsen rather than improve.
This information supports a discussion with your doctor. Suitability, availability and any specialist referral should be confirmed with the hospital. Individual care plans and outcomes vary.
