Infertility can make it difficult to achieve pregnancy, but before you recommend any infertility treatment, your fertility doctor will require several fertility tests to determine the underlying cause.
Laparoscopy is the most common type of surgery to diagnose the cause of infertility among women. The chances of becoming pregnant are significantly improved after surgical treatment.
Damaged or blocked fallopian tubes, endometriosis, adhesions, fibroid uterus, and buildups of scar tissue in the pelvic region can obstruct the functioning of reproductive organs and make it difficult to get pregnant. In such cases, Laparoscopy surgery is carried out by your healthcare provider to diagnose and assess the causes of infertility in the uterus, fallopian tubes, and ovaries.
Laparoscopy Treatment and Procedure
Laparoscopy for female infertility is the most reliable procedure to confirm and treat medical conditions like endometriosis or if there isn't any conclusive diagnosis in other fertility examinations.
In laparoscopy, a small telescope-like instrument called a laparoscope is used with light and a small camera. It allows the surgeon to see inside the body in the pelvic region to evaluate the structure of the reproductive system closely.
Doing laparoscopy surgery helps the healthcare provider in confirming the possible cause of infertility, such as - fibroid tumors, endometriosis, blocked fallopian tubes, scar tissues, and ovarian cysts
The minor surgical procedure is done under general anesthesia, followed by these steps-
- Inserting a needle by making one or more small incisions in the abdomen.
- The abdomen is inflated with gas to make it easier to see the uterus and other organs during the surgery.
- A fiber-optic tube with a light and video camera is inserted through incisions after removing the needle.
- A small tool called a probe is also inserted by making a second incision to move or lift organs out of the way.
- With the camera, the doctor will examine the structures in the abdomen.
After the laparoscopy surgery, It is generally advised to take bed rest until your body feels recovered from it. Avoid carrying on heavy weights, don't drive for at least 24 hours after the surgery, and do not drink alcohol. Also, the incision made during the surgery will be healed quickly in a couple of weeks.
Side Effects of Laparoscopy Surgery
A laparoscopy procedure for female infertility is generally a very safe procedure but may have a few complications during or after the procedure, such as pain and discomfort. Despite these, you may experience -
- Formation of adhesions
- Allergic reaction
- Vaginal bleeding
- Damage to the internal organs
- Nerve damage
- Pain in the shoulders or abdomen
- Blood clots
In case of any severe complications, reach immediately to your doctor.
