Heavy menstrual bleeding, bleeding at unexpected times, recurrent miscarriages without a clear explanation, or difficulty conceiving despite months of trying are some of the concerns that bring women to a gynaecologist. In many of these situations, the most useful next step is a direct examination of the uterine cavity to identify any underlying abnormality that may not be visible on routine imaging. That is exactly what hysteroscopy provides.
At KIMS Cuddles at KIMS Hospitals, Electronic City, hysteroscopy is performed by experienced gynaecologists in a setting designed to make the procedure as straightforward and comfortable as possible. For women across Electronic City, Hosur Road, Neeladri Road, and surrounding communities, specialist access to this procedure is now available locally.
What Hysteroscopy Is
A hysteroscope is a thin, flexible telescope with a camera and light at its tip. It is passed gently through the cervix into the uterine cavity, transmitting a live image to a screen. No skin incisions are required. The procedure accesses the uterus through its natural opening, which is what makes recovery so much faster and more comfortable than surgical procedures involving cuts.
Hysteroscopy serves two distinct purposes, and in many cases both happen in the same appointment. Diagnostic hysteroscopy investigates the uterine cavity to identify what is causing a woman's symptoms. Operative hysteroscopy treats the problem found, whether that is a polyp, a fibroid, adhesions, or a uterine septum, using instruments passed through the hysteroscope alongside the camera.
When Hysteroscopy Is Recommended
Our gynaecologists at KIMS Cuddles at KIMS Hospitals, Electronic City recommend hysteroscopy in a range of clinical situations:
- Heavy or prolonged menstrual bleeding that has not responded adequately to medical management, where a structural uterine cause needs to be confirmed or excluded
- Abnormal uterine bleeding occurring between periods or at unpredictable times
- Postmenopausal bleeding, where any vaginal bleeding after twelve months without a period requires investigation to rule out endometrial abnormality
- Recurrent miscarriage, where uterine structural abnormalities including a septum, adhesions, or polyps may be contributing to pregnancy loss
- Unexplained difficulty conceiving, particularly before or during assisted reproduction treatment
- Suspected submucosal fibroids or endometrial polyps identified on ultrasound that require direct assessment and removal
- Intrauterine adhesions causing scanty periods, absent periods, or pelvic pain following previous uterine surgery or infection
- Displaced or embedded intrauterine device requiring specialist removal
- Assessment of the uterine cavity as part of fertility treatment workup
The Procedure at Electronic City
Hysteroscopy at KIMS Cuddles at KIMS Hospitals, Electronic City is performed as a day procedure. The procedure may take up anywhere between 8 to 10 hours including admission time.
Local anaesthetic applied to the cervix is sufficient for most diagnostic hysteroscopies. The hysteroscope is passed gently through the cervix and the cavity is lightly distended with fluid to allow clear visualisation. The gynaecologist examines the endometrial lining, the uterine walls, and the openings of the fallopian tubes. When a polyp, fibroid, septum, or adhesion is identified, it is treated during the same session using instruments passed alongside the hysteroscope, avoiding the need for a return visit.
After the Procedure
Most women are comfortable enough to go home within a short time of the procedure. Mild cramping and light spotting for a few days afterwards are normal and expected. Most women return to normal activities the following day.
Prophylactic antibiotics are administered as part of the procedure protocol to minimise the risk of infection and support a smooth recovery. Avoiding sexual intercourse for one week after the procedure further reduces the already small risk of infection. A follow-up appointment is arranged to discuss any findings and the results of tissue samples taken during the procedure.
Hysteroscopy in Fertility Treatment
The role of hysteroscopy in fertility assessment has grown considerably in recent years. Conditions including endometrial polyps, uterine septa, submucous fibroids, and intrauterine adhesions all reduce implantation rates and contribute to recurrent pregnancy loss, often without producing obvious symptoms that would prompt earlier investigation.
Identifying and treating these conditions before IVF significantly improves the chances of embryo implantation. At KIMS Cuddles at KIMS Hospitals, Electronic City, the same obstetric and gynaecology team managing a woman's fertility journey is also involved in her hysteroscopy assessment and treatment, ensuring continuity of care and seamless integration of findings into her overall fertility plan.
