When you’re trying to conceive—especially after miscarriage, failed transfer, or unexplained infertility—you deserve to know that the uterine environment is truly ready. Fertility hysteroscopy is a precise, minimally invasive way to directly evaluate the inside of the uterus and, in many cases, treat problems in the same procedure. At Hanabusa IVF, we use hysteroscopy thoughtfully: not as an automatic extra, but as a targeted tool when it can change outcomes and reduce wasted cycles.

When the uterus is the question, hysteroscopy provides the clearest answer. We use it to bring clarity, treat what’s treatable, and support better transfer and pregnancy outcomes.
We recommend hysteroscopy when it’s likely to change management—especially after recurrent loss or failed transfers.
When appropriate, we aim to diagnose and treat in the same procedure, then confirm readiness before next steps.
Procedure timing and follow-up are designed to support your fertility timeline.
We align hysteroscopy findings with embryo transfer planning so your next cycle is built on a healthier foundation.
Clear instructions, realistic expectations, and supportive follow-up to reduce anxiety.
A minimally invasive procedure that uses a tiny camera to look directly inside the uterus—and, when needed, treat issues like polyps, fibroids, or scar tissue—to help create the best possible environment for implantation and pregnancy.

Review symptoms, history, and why hysteroscopy is recommended (e.g., suspected polyp, fibroid in the cavity, scar tissue, irregular bleeding, recurrent loss, or prior failed transfers)
Review prior imaging (ultrasound, saline ultrasound/sonohysterogram, HSG) and fertility goals
Confirm whether this is diagnostic (look only) or operative (look + treat)
Choose the best timing in your cycle (often after bleeding ends and before ovulation)
Review medications, allergies, and any anesthesia plan (if needed)
Confirm pregnancy prevention/avoidance of procedure during pregnancy and complete any required pre-op instructions
Review consent and the plan (what we’re looking for and what we may treat)
Confirm comfort plan (local support vs sedation, depending on your case)
Final readiness check before starting
A thin camera is gently passed through the cervix to view the uterine cavity
The cavity is evaluated for: polyps, fibroids affecting the cavity, adhesions (scar tissue), septum, inflammation patterns, or retained tissue
If operative: targeted treatment can often be performed during the same procedure (removal of polyps, select fibroids, adhesions, or septum correction as planned)
Short recovery period (often same-day return home)
Expect mild cramping and light spotting for a short time
Receive clear guidance on activity, intercourse, and when to call with concerns
Review findings and what was treated (with photos/summary when available)
Confirm how findings may affect implantation and next steps
Plan timing for trying naturally, IUI, IVF, or embryo transfer after the uterus is optimized
If tissue was removed, align pathology results (if applicable) with your next-step timeline
Confirm your “green light” date for treatment based on recovery and cycle timing

Imaging suggests a polyp, submucosal fibroid, adhesions, or a possible uterine septum
You’ve had recurrent pregnancy loss and uterine factors need clear evaluation
You’ve had failed embryo transfers or repeated implantation failure
You have abnormal bleeding patterns that suggest a cavity issue
A saline sonogram or ultrasound showed unclear/abnormal findings and direct visualization is needed
Your evaluation shows no cavity concerns and you’re early in treatment (we’ll advise based on your history)
You need basic imaging first (ultrasound or saline sonogram) before deciding on hysteroscopy

Diagnostic hysteroscopy vs operative hysteroscopy (treating findings adds complexity)
Facility and anesthesia requirements (if applicable)
Pathology testing (e.g., if a polyp is removed)
Follow-up imaging or monitoring
How hysteroscopy fits into IVF/FET planning
Often included: procedure itself and standard post-procedure follow-up
Often separate: anesthesia/facility fees (if applicable), pathology, additional procedures, some imaging

Hysteroscopy doesn’t “guarantee” pregnancy. What it can do is remove barriers that reduce success—especially when implantation or early pregnancy has been repeatedly interrupted by a cavity issue.
The type and size of the finding (polyps, adhesions, fibroids, septum)
Whether the issue is fully corrected
Healing time and follow-up confirmation
Embryo factors, age, and underlying fertility diagnosis

Often scheduled at a specific point in the cycle (your team will guide timing)
Typically outpatient; length depends on whether treatment is needed
Mild cramping or light bleeding can occur; most people return to normal activities quickly (your team will give specific instructions)
We handle: planning, procedure, findings review, treatment pathway coordination
You do: follow pre/post-procedure instructions, take prescribed meds if needed, attend follow-up
A saline sonogram uses ultrasound to look at the cavity indirectly. Hysteroscopy allows direct visualization with a camera and can often treat issues at the same time.
Experience varies. Some patients feel mild cramping similar to period cramps. Comfort measures depend on the type of hysteroscopy and whether treatment is needed.
Common findings include uterine polyps, adhesions (scar tissue), certain fibroids that distort the cavity, and congenital differences like a uterine septum.
Often, yes. Many polyps and adhesions can be treated during the same hysteroscopy. Treatment depends on size/location and clinical judgment.
Most patients recover quickly—often within 1–2 days. You may have light spotting or mild cramps. Your team will provide specific guidance.
It depends on what was done. Some people can resume treatment quickly; others need time to heal, especially after removing adhesions or correcting structural issues.
If a cavity issue is present, correcting it can improve the chance of implantation and reduce miscarriage risk. If the cavity is normal, hysteroscopy may not change outcomes.
Not always, but it may be recommended depending on your history and imaging results—especially after recurrent loss or repeated failed transfers.
