DIAGNOSTIC LAPARO HYSTEROSCOPY FOR INFERTILITY EVALUATION AND TREATMENT
DIAGNOSTIC LAPARO HYSTEROSCOPY FOR INFERTILITY EVALUATION AND TREATMENT
Diagnostic laparoscopy and hysteroscopy are two procedures commonly used in the evaluation and treatment of infertility.
Laparoscopy is a surgical procedure in which a thin, lighted instrument called a laparoscope is inserted into the abdomen through a small incision. This allows the doctor to see inside the pelvic area and examine the uterus, fallopian tubes, ovaries, and other pelvic organs. During the procedure, the doctor may also take tissue samples for further testing.
Hysteroscopy is a similar procedure that involves the insertion of a thin, lighted instrument called a hysteroscope through the vagina and cervix into the uterus. This allows the doctor to examine the inside of the uterus and check for abnormalities such as fibroids, polyps, or scar tissue.
Both laparoscopy and hysteroscopy can help diagnose conditions that can cause infertility, such as endometriosis, pelvic adhesions, uterine abnormalities, or tubal blockages. In some cases, these procedures can also be used to treat these conditions, such as removing scar tissue or repairing a blocked fallopian tube.
Overall, diagnostic laparoscopy and hysteroscopy are valuable tools in the evaluation and treatment of infertility and can help couples identify and address underlying conditions that may be affecting their ability to conceive.
