Laparoscopy is an instrument that we are going to introduce through your umbilicus and put a camera in, and see how your abdominal organs are. Hysteroscopy is putting a camera so it is like this: through your vagina into the cervix, we are going to see how the fundus or anterior wall, posterior wall, lateral walls, and ostia means fallopian tube has a connection with the uterus there will be a small hole seen on either side of the uterus. So we are going to see all these things in hysteroscopy. So this is a procedure done to see if there are any abnormalities inside the uterus. For whatever reason that it has been done in hysteroscopy, there are two ways: one is diagnostic hysteroscopy and operative hysteroscopy. So diagnostic hysteroscopy suppose usually it is done when you have been trying for pregnancy for a very long time, you've not conceived. We'll just go have a look at the uterus, how the inside is, if any abnormalities are there, if that is the reason that you have not been conceiving till now. Another one is operative hysteroscopy, that is, in the scan itself, we will see, okay, maybe a polyp or a small fibroid that is there. So we'll enter inside and go, use our instruments, and that polyp or fibroid, whatever it is. That is an operative procedure. Generally, in hysteroscopy, we won't make any incisions. You'll not have any scars on your body or anything. We use a natural lumen that is present in our body to enter the uterus. It's mostly a daycare surgery morning, you'll come fasting, get admitted, get the procedure done, by evening you can be discharged, or max to max, the next day you can get discharged. It's the least painful procedure. As I told you, in hysteroscopy, we are going to see inside your uterus how it is. Sometimes, if it is infected with chronic endometritis, we can see a different pattern of endometrium. If it is a healthy endometrium, we see a different pattern of the endometrium layer. And then, if there is some polyp or fibroid, those things we can see inside the uterus whether there are any anomalies or not. Sometimes the septum will be there there will be a thin separating structure between the cavities of the uterus. So all these things are findings that we can see in the hysteroscope. It will be done, yes, under anaesthesia, because it’ll be a little painful procedure. So it is maybe 15 to 20 minutes, generally speaking, that will be the usual duration. It will be under anaesthesia. Hysteroscopy is a day surgery; if it is not an operative one, you can get admitted in the morning, get a hysteroscopy done, and get discharged by the evening. If it is an operative, it depends on what is the extent of resection or treatment that we have done. Depending on that, maybe overnight or the next day, you can get discharged. Recovery time — since there won't be any incisions or anything, you won't require a long duration of recovery period. Hardly 2–3 days is more than enough. So, whom do we suggest hysteroscopy to? Is it required for whoever is not conceiving? They have trouble with conception; do they require hysteroscopy? No, screening hysteroscopy is not a thing for infertility. Suppose we find something in the scan, a polyp, fibroid, or if it is a septum, all these things which require an operative procedure, then hysteroscopy is advised. Otherwise, just because in the scan everything looks fine, just for the sake of doing or just because you're not conceiving it, is not recommended for screening purposes. For any operative purpose, yes, it is advised. And hysteroscopy is not going to alter your regular menstrual cycle. Whatever the regular cycles you used to have, it is going to continue the same way. It is not going to affect in any way.
