Hysteroscopy is a minimally invasive procedure that allows your gynecologist to look inside the uterus using a thin, lighted telescope called a hysteroscope. For many women, it offers clarity, relief, and answers to symptoms they’ve been struggling with—such as irregular bleeding, infertility concerns, polyps, fibroids, or unexplained pelvic pain. Because it provides a direct view of the uterine cavity, hysteroscopy is one of the most accurate ways to diagnose and treat many gynecological conditions without the need for major surgery.
A hysteroscopy may be recommended if you’re experiencing symptoms that need closer examination or treatment. It helps identify concerns like polyps, fibroids, adhesions, septum, and endometrial abnormalities. For women trying to conceive, it helps evaluate the uterine environment and improve fertility outcomes. The procedure can be diagnostic (to look for causes) or operative (to treat the issue immediately).
Most hysteroscopies are quick and performed on an outpatient basis. A thin scope is gently inserted through the cervix—meaning no cuts, stitches, or external incisions. A saline solution is used to expand the uterus, allowing a clear view of the uterine lining. If any abnormalities are found, they can often be treated during the same procedure, reducing the need for multiple visits. Depending on the case, it may be done under local or general anesthesia for your comfort.
Recovery after hysteroscopy is typically smooth and quick. Most women resume their normal routine within a day or two. Mild cramping, light spotting, or discomfort may occur briefly, but these symptoms settle quickly. Your doctor will guide you on what to expect and when to return for follow-up. For women undergoing fertility treatments, a hysteroscopy can significantly enhance the chances of successful conception.
If you’re facing symptoms like abnormal bleeding, recurrent miscarriages, infertility, or persistent pelvic discomfort, a hysteroscopy may offer the clarity and relief you’ve been looking for.
