Hysteroscopy Cost in United Arab Emirates

The cost of hysteroscopy in the UAE typically ranges from $2,000 to $18,000 USD, depending on the hospital, city, and type of procedure.

In a hysteroscopy, a slim camera is passed through the cervix so the doctor can see inside the womb and, if needed, treat what is found. In the UAE, the price depends on:

• Looking only, or treating too: operative hysteroscopy removes polyps, fibroids or scar tissue.
• Pain relief: in clinic with painkillers or local anaesthetic, or with sedation or general anaesthetic.
• Biopsy: and laboratory testing.
• Setting: outpatient clinic or day-surgery unit.

A diagnostic hysteroscopy is a short outpatient test. A quote near the upper end of the range above would usually include treatment.

The NHS lists heavy or irregular periods, bleeding after the menopause, difficulty getting pregnant or repeated miscarriage, and a coil whose threads cannot be found.

The procedure usually lasts 10 to 15 minutes, longer if treatment is carried out. Taking ibuprofen or paracetamol about an hour beforehand can help, and gas and air or local anaesthetic may be offered. Saline is used to open the womb for a clear view. The NHS stresses that you can ask the team to stop at any time.

Period-type cramps for a couple of days and spotting for up to a week are common, and pads are recommended rather than tampons. Infection and a small hole in the womb are rare.

Get urgent help for heavy bleeding, increasing pain, fever or an unpleasant discharge. Check with your insurer whether an outpatient hysteroscopy needs prior approval.
