Hysteroscopy

What is Hysteroscopy and why it matters

Hysteroscopy is a minimally invasive procedure that allows your gynecologist to see inside the uterus using a thin, lighted device called a hysteroscope. It’s one of the most effective diagnostic and treatment tools for investigating abnormal bleeding, fertility issues, uterine polyps, fibroids, and more.

At Raveco Medical, we specialize in performing hysteroscopy with precision and comfort, offering patients an advanced, office-based alternative to traditional surgery. Whether you’re experiencing unexplained symptoms or preparing for fertility treatment, hysteroscopy can provide clarity, answers, and peace of mind — often in a single visit.

Benefits of Hysteroscopy at Raveco

With a focus on patient-centered care and the latest medical technology, our hysteroscopy services provide:

  • Clear Diagnosis – Direct visualization of the uterine cavity allows accurate identification of abnormalities.
  • In-Office Convenience – Many procedures are safely done right in our clinic without the need for general anesthesia.
  • Minimally Invasive – No incisions, faster recovery, and minimal discomfort.
  • Fertility Support – Evaluate and treat issues like uterine septum or adhesions that may impact conception.
  • Targeted Treatment – Remove polyps, fibroids, or perform biopsies during the same procedure.
  • No Downtime – Most patients return to daily activities within 24 hours.

What You Can Expect

At Raveco, your hysteroscopy journey is guided with care and precision from start to finish.

Before the procedure:

  • A detailed consultation will review your symptoms and medical history.
  • You may undergo a pelvic exam or ultrasound prior to scheduling the hysteroscopy.
  • In some cases, medication may be prescribed beforehand to make the cervix easier to access.

During the procedure:

  • A thin, lighted hysteroscope is inserted through the vagina and cervix into the uterus.
  • A saline solution is used to expand the uterus, providing clear visibility.
  • The physician examines the uterine lining and may treat issues immediately, such as:
    • Removing polyps or fibroids
    • Correcting uterine adhesions (Asherman’s syndrome)
    • Taking a tissue biopsy
    • Evaluating abnormalities from previous imaging

After the procedure:

  • Mild cramping or spotting is normal for 1–2 days.
  • You can typically resume normal activities the same or next day.
  • A follow-up appointment may be scheduled if further treatment is needed.

Hysteroscopy is a safe and effective option whether you are managing abnormal bleeding, recurrent miscarriages, or other gynecological concerns. Many patients appreciate that it’s both diagnostic and therapeutic in one.

Amazing experience having Dr. R as my Doctor. He did my C section. From the moment I met him before my procedure, I felt comfortable and confident.

Patient

What You Should Know About Hysteroscopy

Why do I need a hysteroscopy?
blue lineblue line

A hysteroscopy is a simple procedure your doctor uses to get a closer look at the inner lining of your uterus. You may need a hysteroscopy if you have abnormal bleeding, including:

  • Heavy periods
  • Bleeding between periods
  • Bleeding after menopause

Your doctor can use a hysteroscopy to diagnose a condition or as a form of treatment. If they find any fibroids, polyps, or adhesions during your procedure, they can usually remove them on the spot.

What can I expect from an Endosee Advance hysteroscopy?
blue lineblue line

Your doctor can perform your hysteroscopy in the office or at one of Raveco Medical’s affiliated hospitals. You can expect compassionate care from the get-go.

During the procedure, you undress from the waist down, get comfortable on the exam table, and place your feet in stirrups. After inserting a speculum into your vagina — just like a pap smear — your doctor inserts the Endosee® Advance, which features a thin tube, into your uterus.

A tiny camera on the end of the Endosee Advance tool helps your doctor see if there are any visible issues, such as growths (like polyps or fibroids) or other conditions.

To get more information during the procedure, your doctor may capture a photo or video or take a small sample (biopsy) of the lining of your uterus.

In general, a hysteroscopy takes about 20-40 minutes.

The Endosee Advance System provides fast diagnostic results, and your doctor may be able to discuss any further treatment needed during the same office visit.

Is a hysteroscopy painful?
blue lineblue line

Your doctor may encourage taking a pain reliever before and after the procedure and may prescribe a sedative medication to help you relax. If you take a sedative, someone must drive you to and from the procedure.

To reduce any pain and because your doctor might need to remove tissues, they apply a topical numbing solution to your cervix and uterus during the procedure. This may burn a little.

While you might feel some pressure or mild cramping during the hysteroscopy, you shouldn’t feel severe pain. Most women report that a biopsy or tissue removal feels like temporary menstrual cramps. You may also experience spotting and stomach discomfort.
