Hysteroscopy in fertility care
What a hysteroscopy shows about the uterine cavity, when it is used for diagnosis and when it is used to treat polyps, adhesions or submucosal fibroids.

A camera examination of the inside of the uterus.
Hysteroscopy is not needed before every IUI or IVF cycle. It is usually reserved for a suspected cavity problem on scan, unexplained bleeding, repeated implantation failure or recurrent loss.
Key takeaways
- Hysteroscopy examines the uterine cavity directly with a camera.
- It can treat polyps, adhesions and some fibroids in the same procedure.
- Routine hysteroscopy before every cycle is not supported.
