Infertility Surgery

Infertility Surgery

Infertility is the inability of a woman to conceive or carry her pregnancy to term successfully. Women suffer from infertility problems due to various reasons such as endometriosis, fibroids, cervical stenosis, ovarian cysts, and others. Although surgical procedures are available for treating infertility problems in women, most women with infertility opt for assisted reproductive treatments such as in vitro fertilisation (IVF).

Doctors treat the conditions that lead to infertility with minimally invasive laparoscopy and hysteroscopy that are performed in the outpatient setting.
