Hysteroscopy at the New Life Clinic

Hysteroscopy is a modern minimally invasive endoscopic gynecological examination, which is used to examine the inner surface of the uterus: the endometrium, the mucous membrane of the cervical canal and the tubal angles. A thin and flexible instrument with a video camera at the end (hysteroscope), which is inserted through the vagina and cervix, allows real-time assessment of changes in the endometrium and diagnosis of nodes, polyps and adhesions.

Indications for hysteroscopy:

• pain during menstruation, dysmenorrhea;
• amenorrhea, absence of menstrual flow;
• long and painful menstruation with prolonged spotting;
• painful sensations during sexual intercourse;
• infertility and miscarriage;
• early menopause and bleeding during menopause.

The advantages of diagnostic hysteroscopy include diagnostic accuracy, minimal impact on the patient’s body, and the ability to perform additional procedures in the same session. The doctor can prescribe a hysteroscopic examination after diagnosis and initial examination of the patient if there are symptoms and suspicions of a disease that requires a more complete diagnosis.

There are two main types of hysteroscopy: diagnostic and operative.

Diagnostic (office) hysteroscopy is aimed at visual examination of the inner surface of the uterus using a hysteroscope. This type of hysteroscopy is designed to diagnose various conditions of the uterus and is an important tool in gynecology, which allows doctors to assess the condition of the uterus, identify the causes of menstrual irregularities and infertility. Hysteroscopic examination is one of the innovative methods that allows you to determine the causes of miscarriage and lack of fertilization. Diagnostics makes it possible to identify disorders that complicate embryo implantation and eliminate them with minimal intervention.
Diagnostic hysteroscopy is recommended for various symptoms and conditions:

1. irregular menstruation,
2. infertility,
3. pain in the lower abdomen, uterine abnormalities,
4. evaluation of the effectiveness of treatment in case of previously identified pathologies.

Hysteroresectoscopy is a surgical procedure that uses a hysteroscope to perform resection or removal of tissue from inside the uterus. This technique is widely used to treat various uterine pathologies:

1. removal of endometrial polyps,
2. removal of fibromatous nodes,
3. removal of uterine fibroids, adhesions of the uterine cavity septa
4. elimination of other pathologies.

Hysteroscopy in Kyiv at the New Life clinic is performed under general anesthesia using modern anesthesia. Benefits include precise and efficient removal of pathologies, minimal trauma, and rapid recovery from the procedure. Modern techniques make it possible to minimize any risks and adverse consequences. In turn, the many years of experience of our specialists greatly increases the likelihood of the expected result.

Removing a polyp in the uterus using hysteroscopy is a minimally invasive procedure that often avoids more complex surgical procedures. This is an effective treatment method aimed at improving women’s reproductive health.
Removal of a polyp in the uterus is often performed using hysteroscopy and sometimes hysteroresectoscopy, depending on the size and nature of the polyp.

• If the polyp is small, it can be removed immediately as part of diagnostic hysteroscopy. To do this, use an instrument inserted through the hysteroscope channel, for example, forceps or a magnifying glass.
• If the polyp is large or more extensive intervention is required, hysteroresectoscopy may be used. In this case, an electrical instrument (a snare or an electrosurgical knife) is used to remove the polyp tissue.

After the procedure, the patient may be prescribed rest and warned against physical activity for a while. The doctor may also recommend anti-inflammatory medications and monitor for possible symptoms, such as bleeding or pain.

Hysteroscopy is usually performed during the first week after the end of menstruation (7-10 days after the start of menstruation), when the endometrium is at its thinnest and has the best visibility. However, if necessary, the procedure can be performed on any day of the menstrual cycle.

The patient may require some preliminary preparation, including hygiene procedures and possibly taking a drug to dilate the cervix, which will facilitate insertion of the hysteroscope.
