Laparoscopy for infertility
Laparoscopy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure that can be used as both a diagnostic and therapeutic tool for addressing infertility in women. It is often recommended when other less invasive diagnostic tests have not provided a clear understanding of the underlying causes of infertility. Laparoscopy can help identify and treat various gynecological issues that may be contributing to infertility.
Advantages of Laparoscopy for Infertility:
- Minimally Invasive: Laparoscopy is minimally invasive, involving small incisions, which results in less pain, reduced scarring, and a quicker recovery compared to open surgery.
- Accurate Diagnosis: It provides a direct and accurate visualization of the pelvic organs, allowing for a precise diagnosis of underlying issues.
- Simultaneous Treatment: Laparoscopy can often be both diagnostic and therapeutic, as it allows for the immediate treatment of certain issues during the same procedure.
- Improved Fertility: By addressing and correcting identified issues, laparoscopy can improve a woman's chances of conceiving naturally or through assisted reproductive technologies (ART).
