Why Is Hysteroscopy Done Before IVF?
IVF success depends heavily on a healthy uterine environment. Hysteroscopy helps ensure that the uterus is ready for embryo implantation.
Key Reasons Hysteroscopy Matters Before IVF
1. Detects Hidden Uterine Abnormalities
- Polyps
- Fibroids
- Adhesions (scar tissue)
- Congenital abnormalities
These may not always be visible on ultrasound.
2. Improves Implantation Rates
- Identifies issues that can prevent embryo attachment
- Treating abnormalities increases chances of success
3. Helps in Repeated IVF Failures
- Essential in patients with previous failed IVF cycles
- Detects underlying causes not previously identified
4. Allows Simultaneous Treatment
- Minor issues can be corrected during the same procedure
- Avoids the need for separate surgery
5. Provides Direct Visualization
- More accurate than imaging tests alone
- Offers a clear view of the uterine lining
When Is Hysteroscopy Recommended Before IVF?
- Repeated IVF failure
- Abnormal ultrasound findings
- History of miscarriage
- Suspected uterine abnormalities
