Hysteroscopy
Hysteroscopy is a minimally invasive procedure that allows a detailed examination of the uterus and necessary surgical interventions. This method, which is widely used for diagnosis and treatment of gynecological diseases, is especially important in the evaluation of recurrent miscarriages, abnormal uterine bleeding, intrauterine adhesions, polyps, fibroids and congenital uterine anomalies.
The procedure is performed by entering the uterus with a thin, lighted camera called a hysteroscope. In diagnostic hysteroscopy, only the uterus is evaluated, whereas with operative hysteroscopy, any abnormalities detected can be corrected in the same session. Hysteroscopy is usually a short procedure with high patient comfort and in most cases is performed under general anesthesia or light sedation.
After the procedure, the patient can usually return to normal life on the same day. Thanks to the direct visualization advantage of hysteroscopy, problems inside the uterus can be diagnosed and treated quickly and effectively. Especially in women with repeated failed IVF attempts or pregnancy losses, hysteroscopy aims to increase the chance of pregnancy by evaluating the uterus.
Therefore, hysteroscopy plays an important role in increasing fertility and pregnancy success in women by offering both diagnosis and treatment.
