Relationship between infertility and endoscopic surgery
These types of surgical procedures applied to women are evaluated in 2 groups. Solutions are tried to be found for existing infertility problems with hysteroscopy and laparoscopy techniques.
Infertility treatment with laparoscopy: With this method, unwanted formations in women are both detected and provided with the opportunity for treatment. With the incision to be made on the abdomen, the uterus is examined in detail with the support of the camera. Since the uterus is reached with this technique, all kinds of cysts, myomas, etc. that cause infertility are detected and these formations are treated.
Infertility treatment with hysteroscopy: There may be many pathological findings that will cause infertility. It can be considered appropriate for the treatment of many disorders that occur with symptoms such as irregular menstrual bleeding, pain, and inability to get pregnant. In order to clarify intrauterine problems, the uterus is reached with a special tool and the diseased formations that occur with the image reflected from the camera can be detected.
It is also a very frequently preferred method in in vitro fertilization treatment, which can provide the most support to the reproductive system. It offers doctors the opportunity to detect myomas, polyps and congenital abnormalities that may cause the embryo not to attach to the mother's body. It also has features that can help determine the cause of miscarriage, which is the most common in infertility. In this way, the reproductive system can be benefited and existing problems can be detected and treated.
Which diseases can be detected and treated with endoscopic surgeries?
With the hysteroscopy procedure, which allows the examination of the inside of the uterus with the support of a camera, diseases such as polyps, tumors, and the membrane that divides the uterus in two can be treated. With this method, which can also be applied to patients with irregular menstrual bleeding, it can be determined immediately whether there is an abnormal condition in the uterus. If necessary, treatment can be performed.
In order to ensure that the intensive efforts before the in vitro fertilization treatment are not wasted, it is understood through the hysteroscopy method whether there is any condition in the uterus that will prevent the pregnancy from taking hold.
At the same time, in line with the principle of transparency, patients and their relatives have the opportunity to instantly monitor all kinds of work done regarding surgeries. This is one of the most important privileges offered to patients.
