Hysteroscopy
Hysteroscopy is a minimally invasive diagnostic and therapeutic procedure used to examine and treat conditions inside the uterus (womb). It involves using a hysteroscope—a thin, lighted telescope-like instrument inserted through the cervix—to view the uterine cavity in real time.
At Padmini IVF, we use state-of-the-art hysteroscopy techniques to evaluate and correct uterine abnormalities that may affect fertility or cause gynecological symptoms.

- Recurrent miscarriages or failed IVF cycles.

- Fibroids, polyps, or uterine septum suspected on ultrasound
- Scar tissue (Asherman’s syndrome) in the uterus
