Frequently asked questions about surgical hysteroscopy
Is hysteroscopy painful?
No. It is usually performed under sedation or local anaesthesia, and the procedure is quick and well tolerated.
How long does recovery take?
Most patients resume their normal activities within 24–48 hours.
Is it necessary to have it before IVF?
It depends on the case. If there is suspicion of uterine abnormalities, it may be essential to improve implantation rates.
What is surgical hysteroscopy used for?
It is used to diagnose and treat abnormalities inside the uterus, such as polyps, fibroids, adhesions, or uterine septa, which may affect fertility or cause abnormal bleeding.
How does diagnostic hysteroscopy differ from surgical hysteroscopy?
Diagnostic hysteroscopy is only used to observe and assess the inside of the uterus, while surgical hysteroscopy also allows the correction or removal of lesions detected in the same procedure.
How long should I wait to have sexual intercourse after surgical hysteroscopy?
It is generally recommended to wait between 3 and 7 days or until any bleeding or discomfort has disappeared.
What are the most common risks or complications?
They are uncommon, but may include mild bleeding, infection, or small uterine perforations, which are prevented with proper technique and use of suitable instruments.
Can I go back to work the day after the procedure?
In most cases yes, especially if the job does not involve heavy physical effort.
Are special care measures needed after surgical hysteroscopy?
It is advisable to avoid baths, sexual intercourse, and tampon use for a few days to prevent infections, and to follow the gynaecologist’s instructions.
Does surgical hysteroscopy improve the chances of pregnancy?
Yes, in many cases. Removing polyps, fibroids, or adhesions can improve embryo implantation and increase the success rate of assisted reproduction treatments.
