What are the risks of hysteroscopy before IVF?

By Guillermo Quea Campos M.D. (gynecologist).
Last Update: 09/24/2024

Hysteroscopy is a minimally invasive procedure for diagnostic and therapeutic use in the management of various intrauterine and intracervical gynecological pathologies. It is indicated in assisted reproduction treatments (endometrial polyps, uterine malformations, endometrial scars, submucous myomas, implantation failure, etc.).

However, despite being a minimally invasive and very safe procedure, it is not exempt from complications like any other surgery. Fortunately, these complications occur in a very low percentage.

Therefore, the fact of performing a hysteroscopy prior to performing an IVF cycle, whenever indicated, can increase the rate of gestation, implantation and evolutionary pregnancy.
