FERTILITY TREATMENTS
What Are Reproductive Surgeries?
Minimally invasive reproductive surgery can diagnose and treat conditions that affect fertility, often improving the chances of natural conception or IVF success.
Types of Reproductive Surgery
Laparoscopy
A minimally invasive surgical procedure using small incisions and a camera to visualize and treat conditions in the pelvic cavity. Common uses include:
- Treatment of endometriosis
- Removal of ovarian cysts
- Evaluation and treatment of fallopian tube disease
- Removal of fibroids (myomectomy)
- Treatment of ectopic pregnancy
Hysteroscopy
A procedure using a thin camera inserted through the cervix to examine and treat conditions inside the uterus:
- Removal of uterine polyps
- Removal of submucosal fibroids
- Treatment of uterine septum
- Evaluation of abnormal uterine bleeding
- Removal of intrauterine adhesions (Asherman syndrome)
When Is Surgery Recommended?
- When imaging reveals structural abnormalities affecting fertility
- To diagnose unexplained infertility
- Before IVF to optimize the uterine environment
- When endometriosis requires surgical treatment
- To remove tubal blockages or hydrosalpinges
Recovery and Next Steps
Most reproductive surgeries are outpatient procedures with quick recovery times. Many patients can resume fertility treatment within one to two menstrual cycles after surgery.
