Polypectomy Cost in Bangalore, India

A uterine polypectomy removes polyps, small growths of the womb lining, usually through a hysteroscope passed through the cervix, with no cuts on the abdomen.

Polyps can cause bleeding between periods, heavy periods or bleeding after menopause, and may affect implantation of a pregnancy. Removing them also allows the tissue to be checked for cancer, especially after menopause.

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

Avoid tampons, sex and heavy exercise until bleeding settles.

The NHS notes rare risks of infection or a small hole in the womb wall.

Flying home: UK aviation guidance gives no specific figure for this procedure, so book the flight after the surgeon's review and ask about clot prevention for long journeys.

Accreditation by the National Accreditation Board for Hospitals & Healthcare Providers (NABH), part of the Quality Council of India, is India's main hospital quality standard, and the NABH website shows whether a Bangalore hospital's accreditation is current.

Some Bengaluru hospitals also hold Joint Commission International (JCI) accreditation, an international standard, and JCI's public directory lets you confirm a hospital's status before you book.

International patients usually arrive at Kempegowda International Airport, which lies north of the city, so allow for road travel time to hospitals in southern and eastern Bengaluru.
