What is Office Hysteroscopy? Office hysteroscopy is a minimally invasive procedure that allows your gynecologist to examine the inside of your uterus using a thin, lighted tube called a hysteroscope. This procedure is performed in our office, eliminating the need for hospital visits and extensive preparation.
Why It's Done:
What to Expect:During the procedure, you may experience mild discomfort similar to menstrual cramps. The process typically takes about 30 minutes, and most patients can resume normal activities shortly after.
What is LEEP? LEEP is a treatment that removes abnormal or precancerous cells from the cervix using a thin wire loop that carries an electrical current. This procedure is crucial for preventing cervical cancer and is typically performed when a Pap test or biopsy indicates abnormal cells.
Why It's Done:
What to Expect: LEEP is performed under local anesthesia, and the procedure usually lasts around 10 minutes. You may experience some mild cramping and spotting afterward. Most patients can return to their regular activities the following day.
What is Myomectomy Myosure? Myomectomy Myosure is a minimally invasive procedure used to remove uterine fibroids (non-cancerous growths) while preserving the uterus. This procedure is ideal for women who wish to maintain their fertility.
Why It's Done:
What to Expect: Performed under anesthesia, Myomectomy Myosure is a safe and effective way to remove fibroids with minimal downtime. Most patients experience a quick recovery and can return to their normal activities within a few days.
What is Polypectomy? A polypectomy is the removal of polyps (small growths) from the uterus. Polyps can cause abnormal bleeding and may affect fertility.
Why It's Done:
What to Expect: The procedure is usually performed using hysteroscopy, allowing for a clear view and precise removal. It’s minimally invasive, with a recovery time of just a few days.
What is Endometrial Ablation? Endometrial ablation is a procedure that destroys the lining of the uterus (endometrium) to reduce or stop heavy menstrual bleeding. It's a good option for women who do not wish to have more children.
Why It's Done:
What to Expect: The procedure is performed in-office or as an outpatient procedure, with a recovery time of a few days. Most women experience significant relief from heavy bleeding afterward.
What is Tubal Ligation Essure? Essure is a permanent birth control procedure that involves placing small, flexible inserts into the fallopian tubes. Over time, tissue grows around the inserts, creating a natural barrier that prevents sperm from reaching the egg.
Why It's Done:
What to Expect: Essure is a quick, non-surgical procedure performed in our office. Most women return to normal activities within a day or two. It's essential to use an alternative form of birth control until the effectiveness of Essure is confirmed by your doctor.
