What Hysteroscopy Conditions Are Treated at Hysteroscopy Center of New York?

A hysteroscopy is a minimally invasive procedure for both diagnosis and treatment of various conditions within your uterine cavity. If you’re suffering from vaginal spotting, heavy menstrual bleeding or inconsistent periods, the cause may be a common uterine condition that can be easily addressed with a hysteroscopy.

Visit Hysteroscopy Center of New York in Midtown Manhattan, Columbus Circle or Queens. Dr. Felix Cohen and his expert team listen to your concerns, review your records and examine you. They explain which hysteroscopy conditions can be diagnosed and treated at their NYC Center and what you can expect.

What Are Common Hysteroscopy Conditions Treated in NYC?

The hysteroscopy conditions treated by Dr. Cohen include common, manageable uterine conditions. He uses a see-and-treat approach, which means that he can treat certain conditions during the same diagnostic visit. Common hysteroscopy conditions treated include:

  • Endometrial polypsAlso known as uterine polyps, these are small, benign overgrowths on the inner lining of your uterus. Clinical studies suggest that an endometrial polyp can range from a few millimeters to five centimeters in size, but if it’s larger than one centimeter, it’s referred to as a large polyp. These growths can cause abnormal uterine bleeding or inflammation, which may prevent you from getting pregnant.
  • FibroidsThese are non-cancerous growths in the muscle layer of your womb. Fibroids are most common in women between 25 and 45. They tend to shrink after menopause. While the cause of fibroids remains unknown, clinical studies connect the female hormones estrogen and progesterone to their development.
  • Intrauterine adhesionsAsherman’s syndrome is recognized by the scar tissue that forms inside your uterus, causing its walls to stick together. If you struggle with infertility, your gynecologist may suspect the presence of intrauterine adhesions. Successful treatment can increase pregnancy rates by 30 to 60 percent.
  • Uterine septumAlso known as a septate uterus, this is a congenital anomaly inside your uterus that divides it into two parts by a membrane called a septum. As with other uterine conditions, having a uterine septum increases the risk of miscarriage and other fertility issues.
  • Retained products of conception (RPOC)RPOC refers to the fetal, placental or membrane tissue left in your uterus after a pregnancy or miscarriage. Tissue remains regardless of how the pregnancy or miscarriage was carried out.
  • Abnormal uterine bleeding. This condition is mostly present in young women who haven’t yet reached hormonal maturity and in middle-aged women nearing menopause. Abnormal uterine bleeding is associated with common uterine symptoms like heavy, irregular or skipped periods, often caused by polyps, fibroids, thyroid disorders or polycystic ovary syndrome.
  • Postmenopausal bleedingThis is often caused by the presence of endometrial polyps or fibroids or as a side effect of hormone therapy. This condition refers to vaginal bleeding that occurs 12 consecutive months after your last period. This is one of the symptoms of early-stage uterine cancer, so have the cause diagnosed.
  • Uterine abnormalities affecting fertilityUterine abnormalities that affect your fertility are either structural or functional issues in your uterus that prevent you from getting pregnant. You may have a congenital or acquired abnormality. They’re often connected with other conditions, such as a uterine septum.
  • Embedded or lost IUD and complex IUD removalWhen your IUD attaches to the muscular wall on your uterus, it becomes difficult to remove. A lost IUD means that the strings normally used to remove the device were lost in your cervix or uterine cavity.
  • Abnormal uterine ultrasound resultsWhen a uterine ultrasound detects something out of the ordinary or your test differs from the standard appearance of a healthy uterus, your primary care doctor or gynecologist may make a referral to a hysteroscopy specialist to determine the exact cause.

“All conditions treated at Hysteroscopy Center of New York are persistent uterine conditions that may require more than one hysteroscopy procedure to completely treat,” says Dr. Cohen. “But my see-and-treat technique sometimes allows me to diagnose and treat conditions in one visit.”

How Are Hysteroscopy Conditions Treated?

The experts at Hysteroscopy Center of New York rely on several proven treatments to address your uterine issues. The most common occurs during the diagnostic phase of the procedure. Dr. Cohen introduces tiny instruments through the hysteroscope to perform appropriate procedures like removing a small polyp or loosening scar tissue.

Other treatments may include a subsequent office hysteroscopy or an outpatient procedure in the hospital, when more anesthesia and pain management options are necessary. In addition to the see-and-treat method, Dr. Cohen provides services that include:
