Gynaecology

Hysteroscopy of the uterine cavity

Hysteroscopy is a short gynaecological procedure in which a doctor can examine the cervical canal and the uterine cavity in detail. During the procedure, small tissue samples can be taken through the vagina for examination or minor surgery can be performed.

Diagnosis

Hysteroscopy is performed either as a diagnostic procedure to discover the cause of a problem or as a surgical procedure to treat a known medical problem. It is most often performed in the case of suspicious ultrasound results, atypical bleeding, developmental anomalies, to remove fibroids and various polyps, biopsy and also in cases of infertility, for example.

The result of hysteroscopy as such is known immediately. Immediately after the procedure, the doctor can therefore inform the patient what has been found and whether any samples have been taken or any medical procedure performed. If so, the material obtained is sent for further examination and results are available within 10-14 days.

Surgery

The procedure is performed using a hysteroscope - a short, thin metal tube with miniature optics that is inserted into the uterine cavity through the vagina and cervix. For best clarity, the uterine cavity is slightly filled with clear saline solution during the procedure. The procedure is performed with the patient lying on her back with her legs on supports and usually takes 15-30 minutes. However, in the case of surgical hysteroscopy, the length of the procedure can be up to twice as long.

How One-Day Surgery Works

1. Consultation with a Surgeon
Your first step is a consultation with one of our specialists. The doctor will assess your health condition, explain the procedure in detail, and recommend the most appropriate treatment approach.

2. Pre-Operative Preparation
Before the procedure, you will undergo the necessary examinations and receive clear instructions on how to prepare for surgery.

3. Day of Surgery
You will arrive at the clinic at a pre-arranged time. After the necessary preparation, the surgical procedure itself will take place.

4. Short Post-Operative Monitoring
Following the procedure, you will remain for a short period in the recovery room under the supervision of our medical staff.

5. Return Home
In most cases, patients are able to return home on the same day. Recovery then continues in the comfort of the home environment.

More information on the procedure

Anaesthesia

The procedure is performed under brief general or local anaesthesia.

Duration of bed rest and incapacity for work

After resting in the clinic, the patient can go home if there are no complications. Any subsequent treatment depends on the diagnosis.

Follow-up care/treatment

After the procedure, there may be a feeling of pressure in the lower abdomen, which will subside relatively quickly. There is also a slight bleeding that disappears spontaneously within one or two days after the hysteroscopy. Bathing or swimming should be avoided for 1-2 weeks to minimize the risk of inflammation or infection. After a diagnostic hysteroscopy, avoiding sexual intercourse for one to two days after the bleeding has stopped is recommended. The postoperative regimen after a surgical hysteroscopy is usually up to three weeks, depending on the type and extent of the procedure performed.

Surgery with a Human Approach

Modern day-case surgery makes it possible to perform procedures without unnecessary hospitalisation. Patients attend their procedure at a pre-arranged time that takes their personal schedule into account. One of the advantages of MY CLINIC is the availability of prompt surgical appointments.

In most cases, patients return home the same day, or at the latest the following day. This eliminates the need for a prolonged hospital stay and allows for a quicker and more comfortable return to normal daily life.

At MY CLINIC, surgical procedures are performed by a team of experienced specialists with many years of practice and international certifications. We combine modern surgical techniques with a strong emphasis on patient safety and comfort.

A compassionate, patient-centred approach is equally important to us. We understand that the decision to undergo surgery may be accompanied by concerns—whether for yourself or for your child. That is why we strive to create an environment where you can feel at ease and confidently place your care in the hands of our doctors.

For paediatric patients, a parent is welcome to remain with the child until the induction of anaesthesia in the operating theatre. The presence of a parent helps the child feel more secure and comfortable before the procedure.

In the majority of cases, patients are discharged on the same day as their procedure. Where medically appropriate, a comfortable single room is also available, providing maximum privacy.

For us, a humane and empathetic approach is not an addition to medical care—it is its natural foundation.

Experienced Surgical Team

Procedures are performed by a team of highly experienced surgeons with many years of clinical practice. Our doctors use modern surgical techniques and regularly participate in professional training and international medical congresses.

We place strong emphasis on procedural safety, thorough pre-operative preparation, and an individual approach to every patient.

Day Surgery – A Rapid Return Home

Most surgical procedures are performed using minimally invasive techniques. Patients arrive for their procedure at a pre-arranged time and, after a short period of post-operative observation, are usually able to return home.

Recovery can therefore take place in the comfort of the patient’s home environment, without the risks commonly associated with prolonged hospital stays.

Modern Operating Theatres

All procedures take place in modern operating theatres equipped with advanced technology for minimally invasive surgery.

Our technical facilities allow for gentle surgical techniques, precise diagnostics, and the highest level of safety during operations.

Individualised Patient Care

Before surgery, each patient attends a consultation with their surgeon, during which they receive detailed information about the procedure, the type of anaesthesia, and the expected recovery process.

Patients are encouraged to ask questions and, together with their doctor, choose the most appropriate course of treatment.

Non-Binding Pre-Operative Consultation

If you are considering a surgical solution for your health concern, the first step is a consultation with one of our specialists.

During the appointment, the doctor will assess your health condition, explain the available treatment options, and recommend the most appropriate course of action.

You can book an appointment by telephone or via the contact form.
