Introduction
Laparoscopy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure used to diagnose and treat infertility-related conditions. It allows doctors to examine reproductive organs, identify abnormalities, and improve fertility outcomes. But when is laparoscopy needed, and how effective is it?
At New World Fertility, we specialize in advanced laparoscopic techniques to help couples struggling with infertility achieve their parenthood dreams.
What Is Laparoscopy for Infertility?
Laparoscopy is a key diagnostic and therapeutic tool for infertility. It involves inserting a thin, lighted tube (laparoscope) through a small incision in the abdomen to view the uterus, fallopian tubes, and ovaries.
Common Uses of Laparoscopy in Infertility
✔ Diagnosing unexplained infertility ✔ Checking for blocked fallopian tubes ✔ Treating endometriosis and fibroids ✔ Removing ovarian cysts and adhesions ✔ Evaluating the uterus for abnormalities ✔ Enhancing IVF success rates by treating reproductive health issues
How Laparoscopy Improves Fertility
Laparoscopy not only helps diagnose infertility but also treats various conditions that may prevent conception.
Conditions Treated by Laparoscopy
Endometriosis: Removing endometrial tissue outside the uterus improves fertility and increases the chances of natural conception.
Blocked Fallopian Tubes: Laparoscopy can open blocked tubes or remove damaged sections, improving pregnancy rates.
Fibroids & Polyps: Surgical removal enhances the chances of implantation and successful embryo transfer in IVF.
Ovarian Cysts & PCOS: Helps in cyst removal and ovarian drilling for PCOS patients, promoting ovulation.
Pelvic Adhesions: Scar tissue removal increases the success of natural conception or IVF treatment.
