Hysteroscopy (outpatient) Service
Hysteroscopy involves inserting a thin telescope into the womb through the vagina. This can be done without an anaesthetic but gas and air can be offered.
It provides diagnosis and management of women with heavy, irregular periods or bleeding after the menopause and is used for:
- polyps or thickened lining, fibroids or scar tissue within the womb cavity
- taking samples or biopsies from the lining of the womb
- treatment of polyps (womb growths) and scar tissue (adhesions)
- insertion of a contraceptive Mirena coil for treatment of heavy periods
