Hysteroscopic interventions
- Endometrial polyps
- Submucosal fibroids
- Uterine septum
- Asherman syndrome (intrauterine adhesions)
- Endometrial sampling
- Lost IUCDs
- Caesarean scar niche
How it is performed
Office hysteroscopy under local anaesthesia or sedation. Operative procedures under general anaesthesia. Saline distension. Specialised instruments through working channels for tissue removal.
After hysteroscopy
Same-day discharge. Minor cramping for 24-48 hours. Light spotting for a few days. Return to normal activity within 24 hours. Pregnancy attempts can resume after first menstrual cycle in most cases.

| Type | Use |
|---|---|

Frequently asked
Dr Patel performs advanced minimal-access (laparoscopic and hysteroscopic) surgery at Balaji Horizon with a precision, organ- and fertility-sparing philosophy — operating when it is clearly indicated, and offering conservative options when it is not.
Minimal-access, organ-sparing surgery and evidence-based gynaecology — with a clear, honest plan built around your priorities.
Book a consultationAbout diagnostic and operative hysteroscopy.
Hysteroscopy is the direct visualisation of the uterine cavity. We use it to investigate abnormal uterine bleeding, recurrent miscarriage, post-IVF implantation failure, and to remove polyps, submucous fibroids, septa and adhesions.
Risks, recovery & when hysteroscopy is the right step
Hysteroscopy lets us look inside the uterine cavity and treat problems — polyps, a uterine septum, submucous fibroids, adhesions or retained tissue — through the natural passage of the cervix, with no abdominal incision. For fertility, correcting these can improve implantation and reduce miscarriage in selected women.
Possible risks
Hysteroscopy is generally very safe as a day-care procedure. Uncommon risks include uterine perforation, infection, and — during longer operative cases using fluid to distend the cavity — absorption of that fluid, which is monitored carefully to avoid dilutional electrolyte changes. Extensive resection carries a small risk of later intrauterine adhesions, which we minimise with careful technique.
Recovery
Most women go home the same day, with light spotting and mild cramping for a few days and a return to normal activity within one to two days. We explain warning signs to watch for before you leave.
When it may not be advised, and alternatives
Hysteroscopy is deferred in active pelvic infection or when a desired intrauterine pregnancy is possible. For purely diagnostic questions, saline-infusion sonography or an endometrial biopsy may answer the question without operative hysteroscopy — we choose the least invasive test that gives a reliable answer.
