Hysteroscopy

What is Hysteroscopy?

A Hysteroscopy is a procedure that allows doctors to look inside the uterus to diagnose and treat the causes of abnormal bleeding and uterine-related infertility. A thin telescope with a light and camera, called a Hysteroscope, is used to examine the cervix and the inside of the uterus.

A Hysteroscopy can be either Diagnostic or Operative. A diagnostic hysteroscopy is used to diagnose problems in the uterus, while operative hysteroscopy is done to correct an abnormal condition detected during the diagnostic hysteroscopy.

This procedure is usually scheduled in the first week after your menstrual period. This allows your gynecologist to view the inside of the uterus more clearly.

Why get a Hysteroscopy?

Your doctor may recommend this procedure to correct the following uterine conditions:

Removal of polyps and fibroids
Displaced intrauterine devices (IUDs)
Adhesions
Septum in the Uterus
Abnormal bleeding
Endometrial biopsy
Postmenopausal bleeding
Pre-IVF evaluation of the uterus

Laparoscopy

What is Laparoscopy?

Laparoscopy is a surgical procedure used by doctors to view a woman’s reproductive organs. A laparoscope (a thin viewing tube with a video camera) is passed through a small incision in the abdomen to look at the outside of the uterus, ovaries, fallopian tubes, and surrounding organs. This is a minimally invasive procedure, requiring minimal hospital stay and a faster recovery time than open surgery.

Why get a laparoscopy?

Your gynecologist may recommend this procedure to:

Confirm the cause of a condition when other diagnostic tests, such as ultrasound, cannot
Find the cause of pelvic pain
Examine a tissue mass by biopsy, removal of cysts, and fibroids
Look for blockage of the fallopian tubes or other causes of infertility
Confirm and treat endometriosis

Pain Management for Labour & Delivery

Before the advent of modern medicine, women could not deliver a baby without pain. But now, they have the choice of delivering with minimal or no pain. Epidural analgesia is offered to women in labor to help them cope with pain better.

Why get pain management? Epidurals block the nerve impulses from the lower spinal segments so that there is decreased pain sensitivity in the lower half of the body. Fear of pain may influence a mother’s wish to have a normal delivery. Hence, normal delivery rates increase with pain management.

Dilation and Curettage (D&C)

What is Dilation and Curettage (D&C)?

Dilation and Curettage, commonly referred to as D&C, is a minor surgical procedure performed to empty the uterine cavity. It involves dilating the cervix and removing tissue from the uterus. This procedure is typically done under anesthesia for the patient’s comfort.

Why is Dilation and Curettage Done? D&C is performed for various medical reasons, including:

Managing miscarriages
Investigating or treating abnormal uterine bleeding
Removing tissue for diagnostic purposes

Depending on the case, D&C can be done as a daycare procedure or may require a short hospital stay of one day.

Cesarean Section

What is a Cesarean Section?

A Cesarean section, commonly known as a C-section, is a surgical procedure used to deliver a baby. It involves making an incision in the mother’s abdomen and uterus to safely extract the baby. This procedure is typically performed under anesthesia to ensure the comfort and safety of the mother.

Why is a Cesarean Section Done? A C-section is recommended when a vaginal delivery poses risks to the mother or the baby. Some common reasons include complications during labor, health issues in the mother, or concerns about the baby’s well-being. It is a safer alternative when natural delivery is not feasible.
