Hysteroscopy is a minimally invasive procedure that allows the visual examination of the inside of the uterus using a special instrument called a hysteroscope. This technique enables doctors to diagnose and treat problems that may affect female fertility, such as polyps, fibroids, or endometrial abnormalities. Hysteroscopy can be performed for either diagnostic or therapeutic purposes, thus improving reproductive health and increasing the chances of success in in vitro fertilization (IVF).
This procedure is particularly useful for women facing fertility problems, as it can reveal conditions that prevent embryo implantation or reduce the chances of a successful pregnancy.
Diagnosis Through Hysteroscopy
Hysteroscopy serves as an extremely effective diagnostic tool for evaluating the uterus and identifying pathological conditions that may affect fertility. Through this process, the doctor can see in real-time the internal anatomical conditions of the uterus and determine if there are any abnormalities, such as:
-
Polyps
Benign tumours usually found in the uterine wall that may hinder pregnancy or cause miscarriages.
-
Fibroids
Benign tumours usually found in the uterine wall that may hinder pregnancy or cause miscarriages.
-
Adhesions or Endometrial Stripping
Tissue adhesions within the uterus that block the normal embryo implantation process.
-
Anatomical Abnormalities of the Uterus
In cases where the uterus shows a malformation or abnormalities affecting fertility, hysteroscopy provides a direct and accurate picture of any problems, such as a uterus with two cavities or other anatomical abnormalities.

Advantages of Hysteroscopy in Relation to Fertility
Diagnosis and removal of polyps and fibroids
Identifies and removes growths in the uterus that interfere with embryo implantation.
Treatment of endometrial pathologies
Treats adhesions and endometrial abnormalities that reduce the chances of pregnancy.
Evaluation of the uterus for abnormalities
Detects anatomical abnormalities in the uterus that affect implantation.
Improvement of endometrial quality
Ensures a healthy endometrial state for successful embryo implantation.
Increased chances of success in in vitro fertilization
Ensures that the uterus is ready to receive the embryo.
Reduced risk of miscarriage
Corrects factors that increase the risk of miscarriage.
Hysteroscopy, as both a diagnostic and therapeutic method, has become an indispensable tool for women’s reproductive health. Through precise diagnosis and the ability to intervene immediately, it enables the treating physician to uncover and correct factors that hinder fertility.
It is the cornerstone for ensuring that the uterus is prepared to welcome the embryo and provides the best possible conditions for implantation. Hysteroscopy contributes to increased success rates in in vitro fertilization and reduces the risk of miscarriages, offering hope and new prospects for women striving to fulfil the dream of motherhood.
With the proper diagnosis and intervention, the dream of pregnancy is getting closer every day.
