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

Polyps can cause bleeding between periods, heavy periods or bleeding after the menopause, and may interfere with a pregnancy implanting. Removing them also lets the tissue be checked for cancer, particularly after the menopause.

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.

Avoid tampons, sex and strenuous exercise until the bleeding settles.

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

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 polypectomy 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.
• Number and size of polyps: and their position.
• Setting: clinic or operating theatre.
• Anaesthesia: local, sedation or general.
• Laboratory testing: of the removed tissue.

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