Hysteroscopic Polypectomy

Hysteroscopic polypectomy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure used to remove polyps from the inner lining of the uterus (endometrium). Polyps are small, benign (non-cancerous) growths that can cause abnormal bleeding and fertility issues in women. The procedure involves inserting a hysteroscope – a thin, lighted tube with a camera – through the vagina and cervix into the uterus to visualize and remove the polyps precisely without external cuts.

Symptoms of Uterine Polyps

Women with uterine polyps may experience:

Irregular menstrual bleeding
Heavy menstrual periods (menorrhagia)
Bleeding between periods
Postmenopausal bleeding
Infertility or difficulty conceiving
Pelvic discomfort (in rare cases)

If you face any of these symptoms, consult your gynecologist for evaluation and management.

Procedure or Treatment

Diagnosis: Polyps are usually diagnosed through pelvic ultrasound, hysterosonography, or diagnostic hysteroscopy.
Preparation: The procedure is generally performed as a day care surgery under local or general anaesthesia.
Procedure:
- A hysteroscope is gently inserted through the vagina and cervix into the uterus.
- The surgeon visualizes the uterine cavity on a screen.
- Special instruments are passed through the hysteroscope to cut and remove the polyp.
- The removed tissue is sent for histopathology to rule out cancerous changes.
Post-procedure care: Patients can usually go home the same day and resume normal activities within 24-48 hours with minimal discomfort.

Prevention

While uterine polyps cannot always be prevented, the following may reduce risk:

Regular gynecological check-ups
Maintaining hormonal balance
Managing obesity and metabolic disorders
Prompt treatment of abnormal menstrual bleeding
