Which specialist performs hysteroscopic polypectomy?

Hysteroscopic polypectomy removes a polyp from inside the uterus using a hysteroscope passed through the vagina and cervix. The gynaecologist reviews your symptoms, examination and relevant scans before recommending the procedure. A tissue sample may be sent for assessment after removal. Anaesthesia arrangements and the setting depend on the size and position of the polyp, your medical history and the planned technique.

Book an assessment with an obstetrics and gynaecology specialist and bring details of bleeding, pain, pregnancy plans, medicines and previous procedures. Ask whether you need to stop or adjust any medicine, when to attend, and what recovery restrictions apply. Follow the clinic's instructions about eating, drinking and arranging transport if sedation or anaesthesia is planned.

Contact your care team promptly after the procedure for heavy bleeding, worsening pelvic pain, fever, faintness or unusual-smelling discharge. Seek urgent help for severe pain, collapse or bleeding that makes you feel weak. Before treatment, arrange medical advice for new severe pelvic pain, bleeding during pregnancy or bleeding after menopause.

Ask which specialist will perform the procedure, whether the polyp can be removed in one visit, what anaesthesia is suitable, when tissue results are expected, and which symptoms should prompt a call.
