Why is Laparoscopic Surgery Done for Infertility

Laparoscopy for infertility is generally advised when women have unexplained infertility, that is when all other fertility test results are normal. Laparoscopy is also advised to determine the cause of any abdominal pain or discomfort.

Laparoscopy can help the doctor to determine the underlying cause of infertility, such as:

Blocked fallopian tubes, Hydrosalpinx
Scar tissue build-up, Adhesions
Endometriosis
Fibroid, Ovarian cyst
Other anatomical abnormalities of the reproductive system

Using laparoscopy doctors not only diagnose but also remove the underlying anomaly causing infertility, giving you a chance for natural conception. In case of any suspicious growth, a biopsy can be taken during laparoscopy. Laparoscopy can be used to remove scar tissue or a fibroid. By treating conditions like endometriosis or hydrosalpinx, laparoscopy increases the IVF success rate.
