Uterine Polyp Removal (Hysteroscopic Polypectomy)
Endometrial polyps are soft, usually non-cancerous growths of the uterine lining. They can cause irregular bleeding and may interfere with embryo implantation. In hysteroscopic polypectomy, the polyp is removed under direct vision, right at its base, which lowers the chance of it coming back. The tissue is sent for biopsy. Most women go home within a few hours.
Asherman Syndrome Treatment (Adhesiolysis)
Asherman syndrome is scar tissue (adhesions) inside the uterus. It usually follows a D&C, a surgical abortion or a uterine infection. Typical symptoms are very scanty or absent periods, repeated miscarriage and infertility. Hysteroscopy is the only way to both confirm and treat it. The scar bands are carefully cut under camera view to restore the normal cavity. To stop the scar tissue re-forming, Dr Shwetha may use estrogen therapy, an intrauterine balloon or a gel, and plan a short second-look hysteroscopy to check healing.
Hysteroscopy and D&C
A D&C (dilatation and curettage) gently scrapes the uterine lining to remove tissue or take a sample. Done “blind”, it can miss small lesions.
Hysteroscopy-guided D&C
lets the surgeon see exactly what is being removed, which makes it more precise and gentler on the healthy lining. This matters for future fertility, because rough curettage is a common cause of Asherman syndrome.
Septum Resection and Submucous Fibroid Removal
A uterine septum (a wall of tissue dividing the uterus) and fibroids bulging into the cavity can both cause miscarriage or implantation failure. Both can usually be removed through the hysteroscope, without any abdominal surgery.
