Question 1

Does hysteroscopy hurt?

Accepted Answer

Diagnostic outpatient hysteroscopy can produce discomfort similar to menstrual cramps during the procedure and in the hours following. In many cases it is well tolerated with mild sedation or even without anesthesia. Operative hysteroscopy is usually performed under sedation or general anesthesia to ensure patient comfort.

Question 2

How long does it take to recover from a gynecologic laparoscopy?

Accepted Answer

It depends on the complexity of the intervention. In simple cases, such as a diagnostic laparoscopy or the removal of a small ovarian cyst, recovery may take a few days with mild discomfort. In more extensive procedures it may take one to two weeks. The medical team provides detailed information in each case.

Question 3

Can laparoscopy and hysteroscopy be done on the same day?

Accepted Answer

Yes, in certain clinical situations, both techniques are combined in the same surgical procedure. This allows pathologies that affect both the interior of the uterus and external structures to be addressed in a single intervention, reducing risks and overall recovery time.

Question 4

Do these interventions affect fertility?

Accepted Answer

In most cases, not only do they not affect it negatively, but they can actually improve it. The removal of submucosal fibroids by hysteroscopy, the treatment of endometriosis by laparoscopy or the resolution of tubal adhesions are interventions that in many patients improve the chances of pregnancy.

Question 5

Do I need a referral or can I make an appointment directly?

Accepted Answer

At Ginelux you can request an appointment with the gynecologist in Telde directly without the need for prior referral. The team performs the initial assessment in consultation and determines if any of these techniques are indicated or if other tests are necessary.
