Fertility Enhancing Surgeries

Overview

We can treat and correct a lot of infertility complications with the help of advancements in medical science. Infertility complications like endometriosis, PCOD, blocked fallopian tubes, fibroids, dermoid, etc, affect the ability of a woman to conceive naturally.

These infertility complications disturb the normal function of the women’s reproductive system and affect the chances of getting pregnant naturally.

To treat these complications, there are two types of fertility-enhancing surgeries that treat and correct the particular problem and helps in enhancing fertility in women.

What are Fertility Enhancing Surgeries?

Fertility Enhancing surgeries are surgeries that help to enhance or restore fertility in women with infertility complications. Many infertility complications like fibroids, endometriosis, dermoid, adhesions, PCOD, etc affect the fertility in a woman.

With the help of these surgeries and procedures, we can correct such infertility issues in women. Expert gynecology surgeons treat and manage such conditions by choosing the right surgery based on the patient’s issue and overall health.

Sub Treatments For Fertility Enhancing Surgeries

Types of Fertility Enhancing Surgeries

There are major two types of fertility-enhancing surgeries:

1. Laparoscopy

Laparoscopy is an advanced surgical procedure that is used to diagnose and correct various complications. It helps diagnose different infertility complications and treating some of them.

It is a minimally invasive procedure that uses the insertion of a thin tube through a small incision made on the abdomen. This thin tube is called a laparoscope that has a light and a camera at the top.

Soon, the surgeon has a clear view of any abnormal changes inside the body. Sometimes, a tissue sample is also collected to send for a biopsy.

2. Hysteroscopy

A Hysteroscopy is a diagnostic and therapeutic procedure to examine the shape of the uterine lining and cavity. In this procedure, we use a viewing tool with a light and a camera on the top.

It is called a hysteroscope through which we can see the uterine lining on the video screen. During this procedure, the tip of the hysteroscope is inserted into the vagina and moved to the uterus through the cervix.

Once the hysteroscope reaches the uterus, a surgeon can look for possible abnormal changes in and around the uterus on the video screen. This way some of the infertility complications as uterine adhesions, polyps or growths can be diagnosed and treated with a Hysteroscopy procedure.

Treatments through a Laparoscopy and a Hysteroscopy

Through Laparoscopy and Hysteroscopy, surgeons can diagnose and treat various infertility problems like:

Ovarian Cysts

Ovarian cysts are fluid-filled( blood or clear fluid) sacs in the ovaries. Sometimes these cysts do not prevent pregnancy, but it makes it harder for a woman to conceive.

We do laparoscopy surgery to remove most ovarian cysts and enhance fertility. The cysts are removed by making tiny cuts on the skin and reaching the ovaries with a telescope or laparoscope.

The cysts are removed while simultaneously watching on the screen. Once the cysts are removed, the cuts are closed with the help of stitches.

Adhesions

Adhesions are bands of scar tissues that results in abnormal joints between organs or parts of the organs. These adhesions can affect fertility by causing blockage of the fallopian tube preventing the fusion of egg and sperm, disturbing ovulation, and making an inhospitable uterus for an embryo.

Laparoscopic surgery can be used to remove adhesions from the body by making a small cut and removing them. It includes fewer incisions, same-day discharge, a quick recovery period and less risk of new adhesion formation.

Fibroids

Fibroids are abnormal non-cancerous growths that develop in a woman’s uterus. They affect fertility and causes difficulties in getting pregnant. To restore fertility in women with fibroids, it is crucial to remove fibroids especially if they are distorting the uterine cavity.

The removal of fibroids can be done either by Laparoscopy or a Hysteroscopic Myomectomy procedure. In this procedure, a surgeon carefully removes the fibroids without disturbing healthy tissues. Once the fibroids are removed, a patient can plan a pregnancy.

PCOS

Just like an ovarian cyst, PCOS that stands for polycystic ovary syndrome, is a condition that indicates the presence of multiple small cysts in the ovaries. These cysts can affect the fertility in women and make it hard for them to conceive naturally.

To treat PCOS, a procedure called Laparoscopic ovarian drilling is used. During this procedure, a small incision is made, and a laparoscope is inserted to examine the ovaries. Small holes, usually not more than four, are drilled in both the ovaries with PCOS.

Blocked Fallopian Tubes

The major part of a pregnancy is a fusion of an egg and a sperm that takes place in a fallopian tube. Various conditions cause damage in the fallopian tubes and result in a blockage.

This blockage prevents fusion and prevents pregnancy. If fallopian tubes are blocked by a small amount of scar tissue or adhesion, then the surgeon can treat them with laparoscopy surgery by removing blockage and opening tubes.

These are some major fertility problems that women face in their child-bearing age. At Gunjan IVF world, we provide all the fertility-enhancing surgeries to increase your pregnancy chances.
