Hysteroscopy in HSR Layout, Bangalore

What is hysteroscopy?

Hysteroscopy uses a thin camera passed through the cervix to look inside the uterus. It can help investigate certain bleeding problems, growths such as polyps, or difficulties with pregnancy. Dr. Jyoti Bandi lists hysteroscopy among her services.

Diagnosis and treatment are different

A diagnostic procedure looks for an explanation. In some cases, the clinician may also take a tissue sample or remove a polyp. Ask what is proposed in your case and which decisions require your consent.

Talk about pain relief beforehand

Experiences of hysteroscopy vary. Some people find it painful. Discuss pain relief and anaesthesia options before the procedure, especially if you have previously had difficult examinations.

Tell the clinical team if you could be pregnant. Follow the preparation instructions they give you and ask whether someone should accompany you home.

Recovery and follow-up

Cramping or light bleeding can happen afterwards. Recovery depends on the procedure and whether treatment took place. Ask when you can return to your usual activities and how you will receive the findings.

There are risks, including infection and, rarely, injury to the uterine wall. Contact the treating clinic promptly if pain or bleeding worsens, you develop a fever, or discharge smells unpleasant.
