Hysteroscopy

Advanced Intrauterine Diagnosis and Treatment

Dr. Neha Dagade, a specialist in Reproductive Medicine and Endoscopy, offers advanced Hysteroscopic procedures to diagnose and treat conditions within the uterus. This "incision-less" surgery is a cornerstone of her fertility-enhancing approach, ensuring that the uterine environment is optimized for conception and overall health.

What is Hysteroscopy?

Hysteroscopy is a procedure that allows the surgeon to look inside the uterus to diagnose and treat causes of abnormal bleeding or infertility. It is performed using a Hysteroscope—a thin, lighted telescope-like instrument—which is inserted through the natural opening of the cervix.
Because the procedure utilizes a natural body opening, there are no surgical incisions on the skin, resulting in zero scarring and an exceptionally quick recovery.

Types of Hysteroscopy

Dr. Neha Dagade performs two main types of hysteroscopic procedures:

1. Diagnostic Hysteroscopy

Used to examine the interior of the uterus (endocervical canal and uterine cavity). It is instrumental in identifying structural abnormalities that may cause symptoms or hinder pregnancy.

Common findings: Polyps, fibroids, uterine septums, or scarring.
2. Operative Hysteroscopy

Once an abnormality is detected, operative hysteroscopy is used to treat the condition simultaneously. Small surgical instruments are passed through the hysteroscope to perform the repair.

Office Hysteroscopy: Many minor procedures can be done in an office setting with minimal or no anesthesia, allowing the patient to return to normal activities immediately.

Hysteroscopic Procedures Performed by Dr. Neha Dagade

Dr. Dagade specializes in the following intrauterine interventions:

  • Hysteroscopic Polypectomy: Precise removal of endometrial polyps that cause heavy bleeding or infertility.
  • Hysteroscopic Myomectomy: Removal of submucosal fibroids (fibroids growing into the uterine cavity) without any abdominal cuts.
  • Septum Resection: Correction of a congenital "septum" (a wall dividing the uterus), which is a common cause of recurrent miscarriages.
  • Adhesiolysis (Asherman’s Syndrome): Removal of scar tissue or intrauterine adhesions to restore the normal uterine environment and menstrual flow.
  • Cannulation for Tubal Blocks: Using a fine catheter to open the beginnings of the fallopian tubes under direct vision.
  • Removal of Displaced IUCDs: Retrieving "lost" intrauterine contraceptive devices.

Advantages of Hysteroscopy

  • No External Incisions: No scars and significantly less post-operative pain.
  • Quick Recovery: Most patients are discharged within a few hours (Day Care) and can return to work the following day.
  • High Diagnostic Accuracy: Provides a direct view of the pathology, which is often more accurate than an ultrasound alone.
  • Fertility Preservation: A highly targeted approach that treats the problem while protecting the healthy uterine lining.
