Understanding your uterine health is an important part of understanding your fertility.
At Fertilysis, our specialists examine the uterine cavity to identify signs of Chronic Endometritis and structural abnormalities that may affect fertility, guiding personalised care and treatment.
Diagnostic hysteroscopy uses a thin camera passed through the cervix, without external incisions, to examine the uterine cavity directly. It can reveal polyps, adhesions, fibroids projecting into the cavity and visible findings suggestive of endometrial inflammation.
Operative hysteroscopy allows identified structural abnormalities to be removed or corrected using specialised instruments. Your specialist will explain whether treatment is appropriate and discuss the setting, anaesthesia options and recovery involved.
No waiting lists. Appointments tailored to your cycle & travel.
What Can Hysteroscopy Reveal?
Direct visual assessment of the uterine cavity.
Hysteroscopy allows your specialist to examine the uterine lining and identify findings that may require further investigation or treatment:
- Endometrial polyps: growths arising from the uterine lining.
- Submucosal fibroids: fibroids projecting into the uterine cavity.
- Intrauterine adhesions: scar tissue that may affect the shape of the cavity.
- Retained tissue: tissue remaining after a previous pregnancy.
- Cavity abnormalities: differences in the internal shape of the uterus.
- Signs of inflammation: appearances that may raise suspicion of chronic endometritis.
Your specialist will explain what the findings mean in the context of your fertility history.

Chronic Endometritis & Microbiome Testing
Understanding both the appearance of the lining and potential microbial contributors.
Chronic endometritis can occur without obvious symptoms. Hysteroscopy looks for suggestive findings such as Chronic Endometritis, micropolyps, redness, swelling and a “strawberry” appearance.
Endometrial microbiome testing identifies microbial imbalances and potential pathogens that may contribute to inflammation. Reviewed alongside hysteroscopy findings and your medical history, the results help guide further assessment and personalised, targeted treatment.
Endometrial & Vaginal Microbiome Testing
Uterine Antibiotic Washes
A treatment option for selected cases of persistent inflammation and infections.
Uterine antibiotic washes involve administering an antibiotics directly into the uterine cavity through a fine catheter. They may be considered in selected patients, sometimes alongside oral antibiotics, following specialist assessment.
The choice of medication, number of appointments and follow-up depend on your microbiome findings, medical history and response to previous treatment.
Antibiotic washes are not required after every hysteroscopy, your specialist will advice if it's suitable for your case.
