Hysteroscopy in Nairobi — Diagnostic and Operative Uterine Care
Hysteroscopy allows Prof. Parkar to see and treat conditions inside the uterus using a slim camera passed through the cervix — with no external incisions and same-day recovery.
Understanding hysteroscopy
Hysteroscopy is a minimally invasive procedure that uses a thin, lighted telescope (hysteroscope) inserted through the vagina and cervix to inspect and treat the inside of the uterus.
It plays a central role in diagnosing and treating abnormal bleeding, polyps, submucosal fibroids, uterine adhesions, retained products, and infertility factors.
Symptoms
When to seek expert care
- Abnormal or heavy menstrual bleeding
- Bleeding between periods or after menopause
- Recurrent miscarriage
- Infertility investigation
- Suspected polyps or fibroids on ultrasound
- Retained products of conception
Causes
What we currently understand
- Endometrial polyps
- Submucosal fibroids
- Intrauterine adhesions (Asherman's syndrome)
- Congenital uterine anomalies such as septum
- Endometrial hyperplasia
Risk Factors
Who is most affected
- Previous uterine surgery
- Repeated D&C procedures
- Uterine infection
- Retained placental tissue
Diagnosis
A careful, layered workup
- Transvaginal ultrasound
- Saline infusion sonography
- Hysterosalpingogram in fertility workup
- Diagnostic hysteroscopy with directed biopsy
A tailored plan — not a template.
Every option is discussed openly with you, with the risks, benefits and alternatives laid out clearly.
Diagnostic Hysteroscopy
Office or day-case inspection of the uterine cavity.
Polypectomy
Removal of endometrial polyps.
Myomectomy
Hysteroscopic removal of submucosal fibroids.
Adhesiolysis
Division of uterine scar tissue to restore the cavity.
Septum Resection
Correction of a uterine septum to improve fertility outcomes.
Small incisions. Real recovery.
Prof. Parkar pioneered laparoscopic gynecology in East Africa. Advanced keyhole and hysteroscopic techniques mean less pain, minimal scarring, and a faster return to life.
Discuss Your Options- No external incisions — a completely scarless procedure.
- Usually performed as a day-case under short general or local anaesthesia.
- High-definition cameras and modern resectoscopes allow precision treatment.
Recovery
What to expect after treatment
- Discharge within a few hours of the procedure.
- Mild cramping and light bleeding for 1–2 days.
- Return to work the next day for most patients.
- Follow-up hysteroscopy after adhesion or septum surgery to confirm healing.
