Investigating Problems Related to Infertility and/or Miscarriage

Hydrosalpinx and IVF success rates

  • Hysteroscopy is a procedure done by a gynecologist or infertility specialist physician that investigates uterine causes of infertility and miscarriages.
  • It is done by passing a narrow scope through the vagina and cervical opening to visualize the inside of the uterine cavity.
  • There are various abnormalities that can be found that can interfere with initial embryo implantation, or with ongoing pregnancy.
  • These structural abnormalities of the uterine cavity can prevent pregnancy from beginning or they can prevent continuation of pregnancy (increasing the risk for miscarriage).
