Hysteroscopy
This procedure involves inserting a hysteroscope, a slender lighted instrument, through the cervix to examine the inside of the uterus. It helps diagnose and treat various conditions without the need for incisions.

Providing the Best Hysteroscopic Service
Hysteroscopy is used to diagnose or treat issues like abnormal bleeding, uterine fibroids, polyps, adhesions (scar tissue), or to investigate the cause of infertility or repeated miscarriages.
Minimally Invasive: The procedure is performed without incisions, resulting in no visible scars and a shorter recovery time.
Quick Recovery: Most patients resume normal activities within a day or two, minimizing disruption to their daily lives.
Same-Day or Next Day Discharge: As a day-care procedure, most patients can go home a few hours after the surgery.
Accurate Diagnosis and Treatment: Hysteroscopy provides a direct view of the uterine cavity, allowing for accurate diagnosis and precise treatment of uterine abnormalities.
Reduced Complications: With a minimally invasive approach, there is a reduced risk of complications such as infection or bleeding compared to more invasive surgeries.
A diagnostic hysteroscopy usually takes about 15-30 minutes. If it's done to treat a condition, it may take longer, depending on the complexity of the treatment.
