Hysteroscopy

A Minimally Invasive View of the Uterus

Hysteroscopy is a minimally invasive look inside the uterus to diagnose and treat bleeding, polyps and other conditions. In Istanbul the visit is organised around your symptoms and any scans already done, not around a fixed operation for every patient.

• Abnormal bleeding is a common reason to consider this examination
• Polyps and other findings inside the uterine cavity can be addressed when seen
• The approach uses a view inside the uterus rather than an open operation

Bleeding, Polyps and Other Uterine Findings

At Estecenter the gynaecologist explains what hysteroscopy can clarify and what it cannot. Some people need diagnosis only, while others may be treated for a polyp or a similar finding during the same procedure if that was agreed.

• Heavy, irregular or bleeding after the menopause are typical concerns
• Fertility questions may be part of the reason for the examination
• Not every symptom needs treatment on the same day as the look inside

How a Hysteroscopy Visit Is Organised

History, examination and a review of ultrasound or other tests come first. You are told how the day is arranged, what recovery usually involves and when results or review will be discussed.

• Medicines, pregnancy risk and previous uterine surgery are recorded
• The aim, diagnosis, treatment or both, is agreed before the procedure
• Aftercare and the signs that should prompt contact are explained in clinic

Hysteroscopy lets the clinician see the uterine cavity and then treat only what the findings support.
