Hysteroscopy is a safe procedure and does not require many precautions, as it can be performed in the clinic, and the patient can be discharged shortly after. However, there are some disturbing effects as a result of this procedure, including the feeling of contractions in the lower abdomen, minor vaginal bleeding, and gas, but these symptoms usually do not exceed 24 hours. It is necessary to reassure the patient and prepare her in advance, and confirm that they are normal and possible symptoms, and they will quickly disappear without complications.

Reasons for using a hysteroscopy

Hysteroscopy is used to diagnose and treat many diseases, including:

• Diagnosis and treatment of infertility cases.
• Dismantle the adhesions of the uterine tubes.
• Diagnosis and removal of the uterine septum.
• Fibroids within the uterine cavity.
• Cervicitis.
• Migrant endometriosis

The importance of hysteroscopy in ICSI cases

Many believe that a hysteroscopy is not necessary before starting ICSI, and that TV x-rays give sufficient information about the condition of the uterus. However, studies have shown that performing a hysteroscopy before ICSI contributes to increasing the success rate of pregnancy through ICSI. Due to what the hysteroscopy contributes to discovering things inside the uterus that did not appear before, such as uterine appendages or uterine tumors and endometrial problems that do not bear embryos and reduce the success of artificial fertilization.

It is worth noting that the hysteroscopy contributed to an increase in the success rate of ICSI in Alpha centers by 60%, and it is one of the most important secrets of the success of ICSI in the center from the first attempt.

How do you prepare before performing a hysteroscopy?

There are a number of tips we recommend to the ladies at the Alpha Center before performing a hysteroscopy, including:

• Be calm and relaxed and avoid anxiety and stress or listen to negative opinions from those around you. And make sure that each case is different from the other, and that the decision is up to your doctor if he thinks that the hysteroscopy is a necessary step for the success of ICSI.
• Sufficient sleep the night before the hysteroscopy, while abstaining from eating and drinking, equivalent to 12 hours before the operation.
• It is preferable to take a laxative to prevent constipation after the operation and to take an analgesic such as Paracetamol before the operation to reduce the annoying pain after the operation.
• Finally, if you are allergic to any of the medications, you should inform the doctor immediately before the procedure.

When is the hysteroscopy done?

Usually, we perform a hysteroscopy a week after the end of the menstrual cycle, at a date determined by the doctor, according to the circumstances of each case, and based on the procedure that will be taken, whether it is a diagnosis only or a surgical intervention in proportion to the existing problem.

Does pregnancy occur after a hysteroscopy?

At Alpha Centers for the Treatment of Delayed Pregnancy, we emphasize that the success of pregnancy after hysteroscopy depends on a number of different factors. The hysteroscopy may be done for diagnosis only, and in this case it will not be associated with a higher chance of pregnancy after the operation, but rather after undergoing appropriate treatment after diagnosing the cause of delayed pregnancy.
