A fibroid is a non-cancerous growth inside the uterus that can develop during a woman’s childbearing years.

Contact a Gynecologist in Queens if you are experiencing uterine pain.

Symptoms of a Fibroid.

What is a Hysteroscopic Fibroid?

The surgery is performed with a local anesthetic, depending on the severity of the procedure. During the procedure, the cervix becomes dilated. The hysteroscope is inserted, and a gas or liquid is injected to expand the uterus. Then, a light on the hysteroscope allows the doctor to see into the uterus to remove any fibroids or find issues that can lead to future problems.

What Happens After the Procedure?

A patient with a local anesthetic can likely go home after the procedure is completed. If the anesthesia was regional or general, it would require a more extended stay that is observed for your safety. You may experience cramps or pain for 1-2 days after the procedure. If you develop a fever, severe pain, or heavy bleeding, please contact your doctor.
