Hysteroscopy passes a slim camera through the vagina and cervix to look inside the womb, and small instruments can treat problems such as polyps or fibroids during the same procedure.

The NHS lists heavy or irregular bleeding, bleeding after the menopause, fertility problems or repeated miscarriage and a coil whose threads cannot be found as reasons for hysteroscopy.

The NHS explains that hysteroscopy passes a slim camera into the womb, usually takes 10 to 15 minutes and can be done in clinic with pain relief or under sedation or general anaesthetic; period-like pain may last a couple of days and spotting up to a week.

Saline is used to open the womb for a clear view, and the NHS says you can ask to stop at any point. Use pads rather than tampons afterwards.

Rare risks include infection and a small hole in the womb. Get urgent help for heavy bleeding, worsening pain, fever or smelly discharge.

Fit-to-fly window: UK aviation guidance gives no specific figure for this procedure, so fly after the surgeon's review and ask about clot prevention for long journeys.

A Delhi estimate for a hysteroscopy is usually built from these parts:

• Tests before surgery: blood tests, imaging and an anaesthetic check.
• Operating theatre and anaesthesia: billed largely by time in theatre.
• Surgeon grade: consultant fees vary between hospitals.
• Surgical approach: open, keyhole or robotic, where options exist.
• Diagnostic or operative: look only or treat.
• Setting: clinic or operating theatre.
• Anaesthesia: pain relief, sedation or general.
• Laboratory tests: if a biopsy is taken.

Ask the Delhi hospital whether the estimate includes the anaesthetist, the scan or biopsy results, medicines and the post-operative review.

Gynaecology in Delhi NCR is provided by multi-speciality and women's hospitals, with keyhole and hysteroscopic surgery widely offered.

India's national hospital standard is set by the National Accreditation Board for Hospitals & Healthcare Providers (NABH), a constituent board of the Quality Council of India whose standards are accredited by ISQua; you can check a Delhi hospital's current NABH status on the NABH website.

Delhi has a long record with international accreditation: India's first hospital to receive Joint Commission International (JCI) accreditation, in July 2005, is in New Delhi, and JCI keeps a public list of accredited organisations.

Ask the hospital's international patient desk, where one exists, whether it provides the hospital letter for the e-Medical visa application, airport pickup, interpreters and help with nearby accommodation.
