Private Hysteroscopy Procedures by Expert Consultant Gynaecologists
Abnormal bleeding, heavy periods, postmenopausal bleeding, and fertility concerns can sometimes require further investigation to identify the underlying cause. A hysteroscopy is a highly effective procedure that allows the inside of the womb to be examined in detail, helping diagnose and, in some cases, treat a range of gynaecological conditions.
At Gynaecology Clinic London, our experienced consultant gynaecologists provide expert private hysteroscopy procedures in a professional, discreet, and supportive environment. We understand that undergoing investigations can feel worrying, which is why we are committed to providing clear explanations, personalised care, and reassurance throughout every stage of your treatment.

What Conditions Can a Hysteroscopy Help Diagnose?
Benefits of Private Hysteroscopy
What Happens During a Hysteroscopy?
Your appointment will begin with a discussion about your symptoms, medical history, and the reason for the procedure. A thin telescope called a hysteroscope is then gently passed through the vagina and cervix, allowing your consultant to examine the lining of the womb in detail.
Most hysteroscopy procedures are straightforward and take around 15 to 30 minutes to complete. Depending on your individual circumstances, the procedure may be performed in an outpatient setting and can sometimes be combined with other investigations or treatments, helping to provide answers and guide further care.

Investigation and Diagnosis
Hysteroscopy allows detailed assessment of the womb lining and can help identify the cause of abnormal bleeding, fertility concerns, or abnormalities detected on ultrasound scans.
Endometrial Biopsy
Small tissue samples can be taken during the procedure to provide additional information and help guide diagnosis and treatment.
Polyp Removal
Certain endometrial polyps can be removed during hysteroscopy, helping relieve symptoms and avoiding the need for further procedures.
Fibroid Assessment
Hysteroscopy can identify fibroids affecting the cavity of the womb and help guide the most appropriate treatment options.
Fertility Assessment
The procedure may form part of fertility investigations by assessing the shape and lining of the uterus in greater detail.
Ongoing Monitoring and Follow-Up
Further treatment or follow-up may be recommended depending on the findings, ensuring care is tailored to your individual needs.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why might I need a hysteroscopy?

It provides a detailed assessment of the inside of the womb and can help identify the underlying cause of symptoms.
What can a hysteroscopy detect?
