A laparoscopic procedure is a minimally invasive surgical technique commonly used in fertility diagnosis and treatment. It involves making small incisions in the abdomen through which a thin tube with a camera (laparoscope) is inserted to view the reproductive organs, such as the uterus, fallopian tubes, and ovaries. This advanced technique allows fertility specialists to detect conditions like endometriosis, uterine fibroids, ovarian cysts, or blocked fallopian tubes, which may be affecting a woman’s ability to conceive. The procedure is typically performed under general anesthesia and offers faster recovery, minimal scarring, and reduced risk of infection compared to traditional open surgery. Laparoscopy for infertility not only helps in diagnosis but can also treat certain conditions during the same procedure, improving the chances of natural conception or the success of assisted reproductive techniques like IUI and IVF. If you're facing unexplained infertility or pelvic pain, a laparoscopic fertility evaluation might be a crucial step toward successful pregnancy.
