What information can laparoscopy provide about female fertility issues?
Laparoscopy can provide valuable information about female fertility problems by directly visualising the reproductive organs. It can help diagnose and evaluate conditions such as endometriosis, pelvic adhesions, ovarian cysts, and structural abnormalities. Laparoscopy can also help implicate certain fertility treatments, such as removing adhesions, treating endometriosis, or repairing fallopian tubes. At Ferty9 Fertility Centre, our skilled surgeons utilise laparoscopy to gather essential information to effectively guide your fertility treatment plan.
Are there any potential risks or complications associated with laparoscopy?
As with any surgical procedure, laparoscopy has some potential risks and complications. These may include bleeding, infection, damage to surrounding structures or blood vessels, and adverse reactions to anaesthesia. However, complications are rare, and our skilled surgeons at Ferty9 Fertility Centre take every precaution to minimise the risks and provide optimal care.
How is laparoscopy performed for infertility diagnosis?
Healthcare professionals typically perform laparoscopy under general anaesthesia. They make small incisions in the abdomen and insert a laparoscope to visualise the pelvic structures. They use carbon dioxide gas to inflate the abdomen, creating space for improved visualisation. Additional instruments may be inserted through the incisions to perform necessary procedures, such as removing adhesions or cysts. Once the evaluation or treatment is complete, the surgeon pulls out instruments and closes the incisions with sutures or adhesive strips. At Ferty9 Fertility Centre, our experienced surgical team ensures a safe and comfortable laparoscopic procedure for infertility diagnosis.
When is laparoscopy recommended for fertility evaluation?
Fertility professionals may recommend laparoscopy for fertility evaluation in various situations. It is beneficial in diagnosing conditions such as endometriosis, pelvic adhesions, and ovarian cysts, which can impact fertility. Laparoscopy can also aid in removing adhesions, treating endometriosis, or repairing structural abnormalities hindering conception. Our skilled surgeons at Ferty9 Fertility Centre will determine if laparoscopy is necessary in your specific case to provide an accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment.
What is laparoscopy?
Laparoscopy is a minimally invasive surgical approach enabling healthcare providers to visualise and assess reproductive organs, including the uterus, fallopian tubes, and ovaries. It involves making small incisions in the abdomen and inserting a laparoscope, a thin, lighted tube with a camera, to examine the pelvic structures. At Ferty9 Fertility Centre, we use laparoscopy procedures for fertility evaluation and treatment.
