Hysteroscopy

A visual examination of the uterine cavity using a small telescope called a hysteroscope.  The procedure is done without any form of anaesthetic and takes only 5 minutes.  It is usually performed to examine possible causes for unsuccessful embryo implantation.

Laparoscopy and hysteroscopy are procedures that can be done at the same visit at our clinic.

An ultrasound scan is usually sufficient in order to investigate the uterus.  However, it is common to perform hysteroscopy if you have had 3 or more IVF attempts with negative outcome.  There might be polyps situated in the uterus, which are difficult to see with an ultrasound.  Hysteroscopy might also reveal myomas in the uterus.  Polyps and myomas will then be removed before the next IVF attempt.

Our fertitily centre has streamlined the process for diagnosing infertility to help couples better understand their condition and treatment options.  We conduct a quick, comfortable diagnosis that identifies the possible cause of infertility.  Once the cause has been determined, we begin designing a personalized treatment plan that is best suited for a couple’s individual needs to ensure the highest chances for success.
