Abdominal pain after hysteroscopy

People should not be unfamiliar with hysteroscopic surgery. It is a new technology that can be used to diagnose and treat diseases in the uterine cavity, and the treatment effect is very good. However, some women may experience lower abdominal pain after hysteroscopy, which can cause some concerns. What causes lower abdominal pain after hysteroscopy?

It is related to the surgery. Hysteroscopy only causes a smaller wound, but it is also a surgery. There will definitely be tissue damage during surgery. There is also an inflammatory reaction of the tissue after the surgery.

The exudation from the wound will irritate the tissue and cause pain. If it is unbearable, communicate with the doctor in time.

Hysteroscopic surgery refers to minimally invasive surgery performed using a hysteroscope. Hysteroscopy is an advanced device for diagnosing and treating diseases within the uterine cavity. It can clearly observe various changes in the uterine cavity and make a clear diagnosis.

Hysteroscopes can be divided into diagnostic and surgical types, and soft and hard types. The flexible diagnostic hysteroscope is made of advanced optical fiber. It has a small diameter and can be bent at will, making it easy to observe and diagnose the entire uterine cavity. The examination process is fast (about 2 to 5 minutes), painless, and does not hurt the uterus.

Indications

Abnormal uterine bleeding, menorrhagia, oligomenorrhea, irregular menstrual cycle, uterine fibroids, uterine polyps, displacement of IUD, infertility, habitual miscarriage, follow-up examinations after spontaneous or induced abortion, abnormal ultrasound images, long-term lower abdominal pain, artificial conception and preoperative evaluation of in vitro fertilization, etc. are all indications for hysteroscopy.

Hysteroscopic technology can be used to directly examine lesions in the uterine cavity, locate and collect lesion tissue for examination. The diagnosis is accurate, timely, comprehensive and intuitive, and cancer can be detected early. Fallopian tube catheterization can be performed to check the patency of the fallopian tubes and clear blockages in the interstitial part of the fallopian tubes. It is accurate and effective. Hysteroscopic surgery can remove the endometrium, submucosal fibroids, endometrial polyps, uterine septum, intrauterine adhesions and foreign bodies. It has good efficacy, does not require laparotomy, has little trauma, less bleeding, less pain and quick recovery.

The uterus is the "palace of the fetus" and the uterine cavity is the room where the fetus will live for ten months. Conception is easy only when the uterine cavity is normal. For example, there was an infertile woman who had failed artificial insemination and in vitro fertilization. A hysteroscopy revealed a fibroid in the uterine cavity. After the doctor performed a surgical hysteroscopy to remove it, she became pregnant naturally.

A woman stopped getting pregnant after giving birth to her first child. She tried every treatment but to no avail. A hysteroscopy was performed, and two sutures from a previous caesarean section were found in her uterine cavity, as if she had an IUD. No wonder she was infertile. After the doctor performed a surgical hysteroscopy to remove the sutures, she became pregnant naturally and gave birth to a child. Therefore, hysteroscopy is a powerful tool for treating infertility. European and American infertility experts believe that all infertile patients should undergo hysteroscopy.

The best time for hysteroscopy is from the end of menstruation to before ovulation. There is no need for anesthesia during the examination, so there is no need to fast or be hospitalized. You can go home after the examination. You don’t need to rest or take any supplements the next day. You can just go about your normal daily activities.
