🧵 The Power of Hysteroscopy in Modern Gynecology
(Real case – Copper IUD embedded in anterior uterine wall)
When an intrauterine device (IUD) migrates or becomes embedded in the uterine wall, it’s no longer just a contraceptive issue — it becomes a surgical challenge.
In this case, a copper IUD was impacted in the anterior uterine muscle wall, causing chronic pelvic pain and bleeding.
🛑 Attempting blind removal could have led to uterine perforation or incomplete extraction.
🔍 Hysteroscopy made the difference. With direct visualization of the uterine cavity, we safely removed the embedded IUD using a minimally invasive approach — preserving uterine integrity and relieving the patient’s symptoms.
Why Hysteroscopy Matters:
✔️ Diagnostic precision – for polyps, fibroids, adhesions, retained products, and abnormal bleeding.
✔️ Therapeutic power – safe removal of IUDs, synechiae, and even resection of intracavitary lesions.
✔️ Fertility enhancement – essential tool in evaluating and treating uterine factors in infertility.
✔️ Patient-centered care – often done as day-case with minimal recovery.
👩⚕️ In modern gynecology, hysteroscopy isn’t a luxury — it’s a necessity. Empowering us to treat safely, accurately, and compassionately.
🌀 Notice how the IUD appears distorted? That’s the result of prolonged embedding in the anterior uterine wall – a clear example of why hysteroscopic removal is the safest approach.
