Hysteroscopic Polypectomy

Hysteroscopic Polypectomy is a minimally invasive procedure used to remove endometrial polyps, which are growths that develop from the inner lining of the uterus. Uterine polyps may cause heavy or irregular menstrual bleeding, bleeding between periods, or fertility-related concerns, although some may not cause any symptoms.

Service Overview

During the procedure, a thin camera called a hysteroscope is gently passed through the vagina and cervix into the uterus, allowing the doctor to directly examine the uterine cavity. Specialized instruments are then used to carefully remove the polyp while preserving the surrounding healthy tissue.

Hysteroscopic polypectomy does not usually require abdominal incisions and generally involves minimal tissue disruption. Depending on the individual case, it may be performed as a day-care procedure with a relatively short recovery period.

The removed tissue may be sent for laboratory examination to confirm its nature. The decision to perform the procedure depends on factors such as the size and location of the polyp, symptoms, age, and reproductive goals.

Hysteroscopic Polypectomy can help manage abnormal uterine bleeding and may be considered in selected patients with fertility concerns associated with endometrial polyps. A detailed gynaecological evaluation helps determine whether the procedure is appropriate and guides individualized treatment.
