Hysteroscopy: Examine the inside of the uterus (womb) to ensure it is in good condition for IVF.

Uterus: Nature’s first home for babies

The womb is our first home on earth—well-furnished, cozy, and perfectly designed to nurture life. But what happens when this “home” encounters structural issues that could impact its ability to welcome and sustain new life? This is where hysteroscopy steps in to ensure the uterine environment is just right for embryo implantation, which is crucial for a successful IVF treatment.

At Primecare Fertility Clinic (PCFC), we are excited to share how this advanced technique can make a significant difference in your fertility journey.

What Is Hysteroscopy?

Hysteroscopy is a gentle (minimally invasive) procedure that allows specialists to examine the inside of the uterus using a thin, lighted instrument called a hysteroscope. Think of it as a high-tech way to ensure that your uterine environment is ready to welcome an embryo.

Why Is Hysteroscopy Important in IVF?

1. Diagnosing Hidden Issues:
   Hysteroscopy can reveal uterine abnormalities such as fibroids, polyps, adhesions (scar tissue), or congenital anomalies that may not be visible on an ultrasound or HSG (hysterosalpingogram).
2. Treating Abnormalities:
   During the same procedure, specialists can correct issues by removing polyps, breaking down adhesions, or addressing other problems that could impact implantation.
3. Boosting IVF Success Rates:
   Studies show that treating uterine abnormalities with hysteroscopy can significantly improve IVF outcomes by creating an optimal environment for implantation.

When Is Hysteroscopy Recommended?

• Before Starting IVF: To ensure the uterus is healthy and free of abnormalities.
• After Recurrent Implantation Failures: To investigate underlying issues when multiple IVF attempts have not been successful.
• Following Abnormal Imaging Results: If ultrasounds or HSG tests suggest potential concerns.

What Happens During a Hysteroscopy?

• Quick and Simple: The procedure typically takes 20-30 minutes and is performed under local or general anesthesia.
• Minimally Invasive: A hysteroscope is gently inserted through the cervix to examine the uterine cavity. If abnormalities are detected, they can often be treated during the same session.
• Fast Recovery: Most patients resume normal activities within a day or two, making it a convenient addition to your IVF plan.

Benefits of Hysteroscopy in IVF

• Accurate Diagnosis: Provides detailed insights into uterine health.
• Personalized Treatment: Enables tailored approaches to address specific issues.
• Higher IVF Success Rates: Studies link hysteroscopy interventions with improved pregnancy outcomes.
• Convenient and Safe: With minimal risks, it’s a safe and effective procedure.

What Are the Risks?

While hysteroscopy is highly safe, there are minor risks such as light bleeding, infection, or uterine perforation, which are extremely rare. At PCFC, our experienced specialists ensure that the procedure is performed with utmost care and precision.
