Hysteroscopic polypectomy

Hysteroscopic polypectomy

Hysteroscopic polypectomy is a safe and effective minimally invasive procedure aimed at removing polyps from the uterine lining (endometrium). Uterine polyps are small, soft growths that can cause heavy menstrual bleeding, irregular cycles, infertility, or recurrent pregnancy loss. Removing these polyps not only alleviates symptoms but also restores normal uterine function, supporting reproductive health and overall well-being.

Indications for the Procedure

Hysteroscopic polypectomy is recommended for women experiencing:

• Heavy or irregular menstrual bleeding
• Infertility or repeated implantation failure
• Recurrent miscarriages linked to intrauterine abnormalities
• Suspected endometrial polyps identified on imaging or hysteroscopy

Procedure Details

• A thin, lighted hysteroscope is inserted through the vagina and cervix into the uterine cavity.
• Direct visualization enables precise removal of polyps while preserving surrounding tissue.
• No external incisions are required, minimizing trauma and postoperative complications.
• The procedure is often performed on an outpatient basis, with general anesthesia sometimes optional depending on patient comfort and polyp size.

Advantages of Hysteroscopic Polypectomy

• Minimally invasive with minimal pain and faster recovery.
• Most patients return home the same day and resume normal activities within 1–2 days.
• Preserves uterine integrity, crucial for fertility.
• Reduces the risk of recurrence and long-term complications.
• Improves fertility outcomes by creating a favorable environment for embryo implantation.

Postoperative Care and Recovery

• Mild cramping or spotting may occur for a short duration.
• Patients are advised to maintain routine hygiene, avoid heavy exertion, and follow medical instructions.
• Follow-up visits ensure complete healing and assessment of uterine cavity.
