Women with abnormal uterine bleeding or irregular menstrual cycles.
Hysteroscopy
A delicate and effective diagnostic procedure that allows doctors to view the inside of the uterus. Hysteroscopy helps identify and treat uterine abnormalities that may affect fertility, often increasing the chances of conception.
What is Hysteroscopy?
Hysteroscopy is a minimally invasive procedure that allows direct visualization of the uterine cavity using a thin, flexible, telescope-like instrument called a hysteroscope. This advanced technique enables fertility specialists to identify and, in many cases, treat structural abnormalities such as fibroids, uterine polyps, adhesions (Asherman’s syndrome), or uterine septa that can impact conception.
At Genesis Athens, therapeutic interventions can be performed during the same procedure, correcting these abnormalities without damaging the surrounding tissue. Hysteroscopy is performed safely and effectively — whether for diagnosis or treatment — minimizing complications associated with older surgical methods.
For patients undergoing fertility treatments such as In Vitro Fertilization (IVF), hysteroscopy helps ensure that the uterine cavity is in optimal condition for embryo implantation, improving the chances of achieving a successful pregnancy.
Who is Hysteroscopy for?
Patients with suspected uterine abnormalities on ultrasound or hysterosalpingography (HSG).
Women experiencing repeated implantation failure or miscarriage.
Treatment steps
Your step-by-step guide to Hysteroscopy
Every treatment at Genesis follows a structured, personalised process designed to support you medically and emotionally at every stage. From the first consultation to post-treatment care, we are here to guide you with clarity, expertise, and compassion. While each treatment has its own clinical steps, the journey always begins with understanding your individual needs and building a plan that gives you the best possible chance of success.
Hysteroscopy
Your fertility specialist will review your symptoms, imaging results, and history. If hysteroscopy is advised, your procedure will be scheduled and planned in detail.
Depending on your case, hysteroscopy may be performed under local or general anaesthesia. You will be advised about timing based on your menstrual cycle.
A hysteroscope is gently inserted through the cervix to inspect the uterus. If needed, small instruments can be used to remove polyps, fibroids, adhesions, or other abnormalities.
Most patients return home the same day with minimal discomfort. You may experience mild cramping or spotting for a short time.
Your doctor will discuss the findings and any treatment performed, and help you plan the next step in your fertility journey.
