Hysteroscopy

“what Hysteroscopy

A hysteroscopy is a procedure that allows doctors to look inside the uterus to diagnose and treat the causes of abnormal bleeding and uterine causes of infertility. A thin telescope with a light and camera, called a hysteroscope is used to examine the cervix and the inside of the uterus.

 

A hysteroscopy can be either diagnostic or operative. A diagnostic hysteroscopy is used to diagnose problems of the uterus, while operative hysteroscopy is done to correct an abnormal condition detected during the diagnostic hysteroscopy.

 

This procedure is usually scheduled in the first week after your menstrual period. This will allow your gynecologist to view the inside of uterus more clearly.

 

Why get a hysteroscopy?

Your doctor may recommend this procedure to correct the following uterine conditions:

 

  • Removal of polyps and fibroids
  • Displaced intrauterine devices (IUDs)
  • Adhesions
  • Septums K Abnormal bleeding
  • Endometrial biopsy
  • Postmenopausal bleeding
  • Pre IVF evaluation of uterus

 

1.Preoperative Preparation

You will be required to fast for at least 6 to 8 hours before the hysteroscopy whether it is diagnostic or operative. A blood and pre-operative anaesthetic check up will be done before the procedure. Admission to the hospital will be done at 6am on the day of the surgery.

If an operative hysteroscopy is required, small instruments used to correct a condition will be inserted through the hysteroscope and the relevant procedure is completed. Findings of the procedure will be documented in the case summary and relevant operative pictures are saved for future reference.

Laparoscopy

What is  laparoscopy

 laparoscopy is a surgical procedure used by doctors to view a woman’s reproductive organs. A laparoscope (a thin viewing tube with a video camera) is passed through a small incision in the abdomen to look at the outside of the uterus, ovaries, fallopian tubes and surrounding organs.

There are different types of laparoscopic treatment, which includes:

  • Hysterectomy or removal of the uterus

Pain Management for Labour & Delivery

Before the advent of modern medicine, women could not deliver a baby without pain. But now, they have the choice of delivering with minimal or no pain. Epidural analgesia is offered to women in labour to help mothers-to-be cope with pain better.Before the advent of modern medicine, women could not deliver a baby without pain. But now, they have the choice of delivering with minimal or no pain. Epidural analgesia is offered to women in labour to help mothers-to-be cope with pain better.

 

Epidural anesthesia is given by injecting the medicine into the epidural space of the spinal column (the space in the spine which lies above the superficial-most covering of the spinal cord). The epidural catheter will remain in place until the delivery is done and until the woman is relieved of the labour process.”

“Why get pain management?

Epidurals block the nerve impulses from the lower spinal segments so that there is decreased pain sensitivity in the lower half of the body. Fear of pain may influence a mother’s wish to have a normal delivery. Hence normal delivery rates increase with pain management”

 

1.Preoperative Preparation

Since labour is a natural procedure, you will be able to walk around and eat as you would normally. No specific preoperative preparation is required.

 

what to expert

A fine catheter will be introduced in to your lower back (lumbar spine) through which pain relief medication will be injected, which greatly reduce labour pains. The dose will be adjusted according to the requirements and patient comfort by a pump. You will continuously be monitored by both the anaesthetist and obstetrician. Uterine contractions will still be felt but without much pain.ts.All important surgical steps are documented for future reference.

 

Post Op care

After delivery, the epidural catheter will be removed. You will be shifted out of the labour room and into an observation room where you will be monitored for 4 hours. Afterwards, you will be moved to a private room along with your baby.

 

Here, you will be able to walk around and have normal food. A few women may experience numbness in their legs for a few hours after delivery and may need help with walking.

 

Post op follow up

A week after your delivery, you will be required to follow up with your gynecologist.

Dilation and Curettage

What is Dilation and Curettage (D&C)?

Dilation and Curettage, commonly referred to as D&C, is a minor surgical procedure performed to empty the uterine cavity. It involves dilating the cervix and removing tissue from the uterus. This procedure is typically done under anesthesia for the patient’s comfort.

 

Why is Dilation and Curettage Done?

D&C is performed for various medical reasons, including:

 

Managing miscarriages.

Investigating or treating abnormal uterine bleeding.

Removing tissue for diagnostic purposes.

Depending on the case, D&C can be done as a daycare procedure or may require a short hospital stay of one day. It provides both diagnostic and therapeutic benefits, helping manage uterine conditions effectively.”

 

Pre-operative Preparation;

Pre-operative preparation is individualized to each patient and would be explained by the doctor before the admission.

 

What to expect;

Patients need to keep in mind that any surgical procedure would be associated with pain, and to alleviate that, necessary pain medication would be given.

Some procedures might require urinary catheterization for 24–48 hours.

 

Follow up;

A detailed summary would be given to the patient at the time of discharge, explaining the diet, necessary medication, and personal care to be taken.”

Cesarean 

 

What is a Cesarean ?

A Cesarean section, commonly known as a C-section, is a surgical procedure used to deliver a baby. It involves making an incision in the mother’s abdomen and uterus to safely extract the baby. This procedure is typically performed under anesthesia to ensure the comfort and safety of the mother.

 

Why is a Cesarean Section Done?

A C-section is recommended when a vaginal delivery poses risks to the mother or the baby. Some common reasons include complications during labor, health issues in the mother, or concerns about the baby’s well-being. It is a safer alternative when natural delivery is not feasible.

 

After the procedure, mothers usually require a hospital stay of 2–3 days to recover. Supportive care and medications are provided throughout this period to aid recovery and ensure the health of both the mother and baby.”
