It is a special minimally invasive surgery that uses a special light transmitting telescope to view the inside of the lining of the uterus.

Abnormalities of the uterine lining include:

• Fibroids
• Polyps
• Early precancerous change
• Adhesions/scared tissue

It can be the cause of abnormal uterine bleeding (longer, heavier menstrual bleeding with clots)

At the Health Centre for Women, Hysteroscopy is done as an in-office procedure and generally required no sedation.  Patients can watch the procedure on the monitor.

We offer advanced hysteroscopic surgery to treat these conditions as an out-patient surgery as an alternative to hysterectomy.

Bleeding During Pregnancy BROCHURE

Vaginal bleeding in pregnancy has many causes. Some are serious and some are not. Some causes result in bleeding early in pregnancy. Others result in bleeding later. Slight bleeding often stops on its own. Sometimes, though, bleeding may pose a risk to you or your fetus. You should call your doctor or seek medical advice if bleeding occurs.  This pamphlet tells you about the causes of bleeding, signs of problems and steps to be taken.

S&P BROCHURE

Group B streptococcus (GBS) is a type of bacteria that can be found in up to 40weeks of pregnancy. A woman with GBS can pass it on to her fetus when she is pregnant or to her baby during delivery or after birth. Most babies who get GBS from their mothers do not have any problems. A few, though, will become sick. This can cause major health problems or even threaten their lives.

This pamphlet discusses the ways to help prevent Group B Strep infection in newborns, your doctor can advise you on the best approach.
