What is Hysteroscopy ?
Hysteroscopy is a procedure that allows a surgeon to look inside of your uterus in order to diagnose and treat the causes of abnormal bleeding. An operative hysteroscopy can be used to remove polyps, fibroids and adhesions.
Why is the classic overnight success story more realistically achieved through a process 10 years in the making? It is because preparation helps avoid preventable errors, failed attempts and misconceptions. Now I am not saying that you'll need to dedicate years towards optimizing the outcome of your pregnancy but sadly more than two-thirds of patients schedule their first visit regarding pregnancy after they are already pregnant.
The significant benefits of meeting your doctor prior to conception can not be ignored or under estimated. A visit directed towards your unique medical conditions, previous pregnancies, gynecologic history, family history or prior attempts to concieve, name just a few of the areas that will be investigated.
Most patients are not aware that preventative steps taken prior to conception can reduce certain birth defects or that certain at risk patients can reduce the occurence or severity of some medical complications related to pregnancy including preterm delivery. Again it is with advance planning that these outcomes can be realized.
Since a birth plan is frequently designed in the later half of pregnancy after to a high degree the outcome of the pregnancy has already been set in motion, my recommendation would be to be more proactive and consideration be made to birth pre-planning or preparation prior to pursuing conception.
Your efforts can yield more promising results and may hopefully result with a delivery that stands a better chance to fulfill your wishes.
