Surgical hysteroscopy in Madrid
Diagnosis and treatment to improve your fertility
Surgical hysteroscopy is a minimally invasive technique that allows for the diagnosis and treatment of uterine conditions that may affect fertility, such as polyps, fibroids, or adhesions. At Fertility Madrid, we perform this procedure with the highest precision and safety, optimizing the uterine conditions to support embryo implantation and increase the chances of pregnancy. We have assisted reproduction specialists located in the heart of Madrid.
Types of hysteroscopy
Diagnostic hysteroscopy
It is used to detect uterine abnormalities that may be affecting fertility or causing recurrent miscarriages. It allows observation of the inside of the uterus and the detection of:
- Uterine polyps
- Submucosal fibroids
- Uterine septa or partitions
- Congenital uterine malformations
- Synechiae or adhesions (Asherman’s syndrome)
Surgical hysteroscopy
When an abnormality is detected, surgical hysteroscopy makes it possible to correct it precisely and without the need for open surgery. Some of the procedures we perform are:
- Resection of polyps and fibroids smaller than 3 cm
- Treatment of uterine malformations (septate, arcuate, T-shaped uterus, etc.)
- Release of synechiae (Asherman’s syndrome)
- Hysteroscopic metroplasty
- Endometrial ablation
- Treatment of isthmocele (scar defect)
Benefits of hysteroscopy for fertility
- Minimally invasive technique
- Direct visualisation of the uterus without incisions
- Outpatient procedures in many cases
- Fast recovery and low risk of complications
- Improved endometrial receptivity to increase success rates in fertility treatments

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.
