Before IVF, Do You Really Need Hysteroscopy & Laparoscopy?
🔹 Egg collection is usually done through the vaginal route, but in selected cases, hysteroscopy or laparoscopy may be considered.
🔹 If a polyp, endometrial adhesion, or small uterine septum is found, hysteroscopy can sometimes be performed during the same anaesthesia as egg collection.
🔹 Certain cervical or uterine procedures may require additional time and planning.
🔹 If there is a large fibroid, significant adhesions, or a need for laparoscopic tubal clipping, combining procedures with routine IVF day-care treatment may not always be preferred.
🔹 Only a small proportion of IVF patients may actually require hysteroscopy or laparoscopy before IVF.
🔹 For patients undergoing IVF for the first time without any other indication, routine hysteroscopy or laparoscopy is generally not necessary.
These procedures should be performed when there is a clear medical indication—not routinely for every IVF patient.
