What are office gynecological procedures?
Common In-Office Gynecology Procedures We Offer
Hysteroscopy
A hysteroscopy is a minimally invasive procedure used to examine the inside of the uterus to diagnose and treat conditions such as abnormal uterine bleeding, fibroids, endometrial polyps, or uterine scarring. It allows for a clear visual assessment of the uterine cavity and can be used for both diagnostic and operative purposes.
What to Expect:
- A thin, lighted camera (hysteroscope) is inserted through the vagina and cervix into the uterus to provide a clear view of the uterine lining.
- If necessary, small surgical instruments can be passed through the hysteroscope to remove polyps, fibroids, or scar tissue.
- The procedure is usually performed under local or mild sedation, making it a well-tolerated and convenient option for most women.
- Most hysteroscopies take 15-30 minutes, depending on whether it is diagnostic or operative.
Ultrasound
Ultrasound imaging is a non-invasive diagnostic tool used to assess reproductive health and detect gynecological conditions. It uses high-frequency sound waves to create real-time images of the pelvic organs, helping to evaluate ovarian cysts, fibroids, endometrial thickness, and pregnancy-related concerns.
Types of ultrasound we provide:
- Transabdominal Ultrasound – Performed on the lower abdomen with a probe placed on the skin to provide a broader view of the pelvic organs.
- Transvaginal Ultrasound – A more detailed assessment that involves inserting a small probe into the vagina for a closer view of the uterus and ovaries, often used to detect early pregnancy, cysts, or endometrial abnormalities.
- Sonohysterography – A specialized ultrasound that uses sterile saline infused into the uterus to expand the cavity, allowing for clearer imaging of polyps, fibroids, or uterine abnormalities that may not be seen on a standard ultrasound.
Colposcopy
- A colposcope is positioned near the cervix to magnify and inspect abnormal cells that may not be visible during a standard pelvic exam.
- A mild acetic acid (vinegar) solution is applied to highlight abnormal areas on the cervix.
- If suspicious tissue is found, a biopsy may be performed, where a small sample of tissue is taken for further testing.
- The procedure typically takes 10-15 minutes and is performed in-office with minimal discomfort, though mild cramping or spotting may occur afterward.
When should you consider an in-office procedure?
In-office gynecological procedures are recommended when diagnostic imaging or specialized evaluation is needed to confirm a condition or when a minimally invasive treatment can address a specific concern. These procedures are often advised for women experiencing ongoing symptoms that impact their daily lives or reproductive health.
Your gynecologist may recommend an in-office procedure if you experience:
- Abnormal uterine bleeding – Heavy, prolonged, or irregular periods that may indicate fibroids, polyps, or hormonal imbalances.
- Pelvic pain or pressure – Persistent discomfort that may be associated with endometriosis, ovarian cysts, or uterine fibroids.
- Recurring urinary or reproductive health concerns – Conditions like urinary incontinence, vaginal atrophy, or recurrent infections that require diagnostic evaluation.
- Abnormal Pap smear results – Colposcopy may be necessary to further examine the cervix for precancerous changes or HPV-related abnormalities.
- Suspected fibroids, cysts, or endometrial polyps – Conditions that may require ultrasound imaging, hysteroscopy, or biopsy to determine an appropriate treatment plan.
Benefits of Office-Based Gynecological Procedures
- Minimally invasive – These procedures require no incisions or only small instruments, leading to less pain, faster recovery, and fewer complications.
- Convenient – Performed in a comfortable office setting, eliminating the need for hospital admission or an extended stay.
- Cost-effective – Reduces medical expenses by eliminating hospital facility fees and associated costs.
- Quick and efficient – Most procedures take less than an hour, providing fast results and minimizing disruption to daily activities.
- Reduced anesthesia risks – Many in-office procedures can be performed with local anesthesia or mild sedation, reducing risks associated with general anesthesia.
- Immediate evaluation and treatment – Many office-based procedures allow for diagnosis and treatment in a single visit, streamlining care and improving outcomes.

In-Office Gynecology Procedures in Miami, FL – FAQs
Are in-office gynecological procedures painful?
Most office procedures, such as hysteroscopy, colposcopy, and ultrasound, cause minimal discomfort. Local anesthesia or mild sedation is often used to ensure patient comfort.
How long does it take to recover from an in-office procedure?
Recovery times vary, but most women can return to normal activities within a few hours to a day after their procedure. Mild cramping or spotting may occur depending on the type of procedure.
Do I need to prepare for a hysteroscopy or colposcopy?
Preparation depends on the procedure. For hysteroscopy, you may be advised to take an over-the-counter pain reliever beforehand. For colposcopy, avoid sexual intercourse, tampons, or vaginal medications for 24-48 hours before the appointment.
Will I be able to drive myself home after the procedure?
Most in-office procedures do not require general anesthesia, so you should be able to drive yourself home unless sedation is used. Your doctor will provide specific guidance based on your treatment.

Risks are minimal but may include mild cramping, spotting, or temporary discomfort. Serious complications are rare and will be discussed with you before the procedure.
How soon will I receive results from my procedure?
Ultrasound results are often available immediately. Biopsy results from colposcopy or hysteroscopy may take a few days to a week. Your doctor will discuss findings and next steps with you.
Can an in-office procedure replace surgery?
In many cases, in-office procedures like hysteroscopy or colposcopy provide diagnostic answers and treatments that may prevent the need for more invasive surgery. However, some conditions may still require further intervention.
Is an ultrasound always necessary before gynecological procedures?
Ultrasounds are commonly used to assess the uterus and ovaries before certain procedures like hysteroscopy to ensure the most accurate diagnosis and treatment plan.
