Hysteroscopy

At Yunella Women’s Health in the Mid City West area of Los Angeles, California, skilled OB/GYN David Seil Kim, MD, PhD, offers advanced hysteroscopy to diagnose and treat conditions affecting the uterus. This minimally invasive procedure helps address concerns such as abnormal bleeding, uterine polyps, fibroids, and fertility challenges — often without the need for major surgery. Dr. Kim personalizes each treatment plan based on your symptoms, reproductive goals, and overall health, helping restore comfort and confidence.

What is hysteroscopy?

Hysteroscopy is a minimally invasive procedure that allows Dr. Kim to look directly inside the uterus using a thin, lighted camera called a hysteroscope.

It’s performed through the cervix — meaning no abdominal incisions are required.

Hysteroscopy is commonly used to evaluate and treat:

• Abnormal uterine bleeding
• Uterine polyps
• Submucosal fibroids
• Scar tissue (Asherman’s syndrome)
• Irregular ultrasound findings
• Fertility concerns

Because it provides direct visualization of the uterine cavity, hysteroscopy is one of the most precise ways to diagnose and treat intrauterine conditions.

What is hysteroscopy treatment?

At Yunella Women’s Health, hysteroscopy can be both diagnostic and therapeutic.

Dr. Kim uses this advanced, minimally invasive technique to:

• Confirm the cause of abnormal bleeding
• Remove polyps
• Resect small fibroids within the uterine cavity
• Treat scar tissue
• Improve the uterine environment for fertility

Treatment is highly personalized and designed around your symptoms, reproductive goals, and comfort level.

Many hysteroscopy procedures can be performed in-office, avoiding the need for a hospital-based surgery.

What can I expect during hysteroscopy?

Hysteroscopy is typically a short outpatient procedure.

During the procedure:

• A thin camera is gently inserted through the cervix
• The uterus is filled with fluid to allow clear visualization
• Small instruments may be used to remove polyps or fibroids if needed

Because there are no abdominal incisions, recovery is usually quick.

Some patients experience mild cramping, similar to menstrual cramps, which typically resolves within a day or two.

What can I expect after hysteroscopy?

Most patients return to normal activities within 24–48 hours.

You may notice:

• Light spotting for a few days
• Mild cramping
• Gradual improvement in bleeding symptoms

If tissue was removed, Dr. Kim will review pathology results with you and discuss any next steps.

For patients seeking fertility, hysteroscopy can significantly improve implantation conditions and menstrual health.
