Which specialist performs operative hysteroscopy?

Operative hysteroscopy uses a slender camera passed through the vagina and cervix to view the inside of the uterus and treat selected problems. A surgeon may remove a polyp, take a sample, divide scar tissue, or treat a fibroid that projects into the uterine cavity.

The specialist discusses the planned treatment, anaesthesia, pregnancy plans, medicines, and any preparation needed. The approach depends on the finding, its position, and your health history.

Bring ultrasound or previous hysteroscopy reports, a list of medicines and allergies, and details of bleeding symptoms. Tell the team if pregnancy is possible, if you use blood-thinning medicine, or if you have had pelvic infections. Ask when to stop eating or drinking and how tissue samples will be reported.

Seek prompt advice after the procedure for increasing pelvic pain, fever, foul-smelling discharge, heavy bleeding, dizziness, or difficulty passing urine. Emergency assessment is needed for collapse, severe abdominal pain, or sudden breathing difficulty. Before treatment, urgent review is appropriate for severe pain, heavy bleeding, or fainting.

What finding will you treat? Will a tissue sample be sent for analysis? What anaesthesia is planned? When can I return to usual activities, and which symptoms mean I should contact the team?
