Hysteroscopy for Abnormal Vaginal Bleeding

Hysteroscopy for Abnormal Vaginal Bleeding | Preparation & Expectations | Home Care and Complications

What happens right after the procedure?

Recovery usually takes less than 2 hours. Results will vary according to the findings.

  • If a uterine polyp or fibroid was removed, symptoms of abnormal bleeding generally improve. They may recur if the base of the polyp or fibroid was not completely removed.
  • If precancerous changes in the uterine lining were diagnosed, further treatment with high-dose progestins or hysterectomy may be needed.
  • The results and findings will be discussed during a follow-up visit in the healthcare provider's office.
