HYSTEROSCOPY
The Hysteroscopicmyomectomy can only treat submucosal fibroids, or those that are inside the uterus. This procedure does not require any incisions to be made since the small telescope that is used in the procedure, the hysteroscope, passes through the cervix.
Attached to the telescope, which lets the doctor who performs the hysteroscopy monitor the procedure on a monitor, is a wire attachment through which electricity can pass that is used to cut through the fibroid and cauterizes the wound.
The entire procedure typically takes less than an hour, and while anesthetic is necessary to reduce discomfort, the woman is able to return home that same day and can usually resume normal activity, including work and exercise, in one or two days.
Pregnancy rates following a hysteroscopy are good, which makes it an excellent choice if your fibroids can be treated by this method.
Our one-stop hysteroscopy service sees women for a range of different conditions including:
- Post menopausal bleeding.
- Heavy menstrual bleeding.
- Inter-menstrual bleeding.
- Post-coital bleeding.
- As part of fertility investigations.
- Lost or embedded coils.
- HNPCC screening (Hereditary non-polypoidol colonic carcinoma) screening.
- Screening for cancer.
