Laparoscopy
Laparoscopy, also known as minimally invasive surgery, is a way of doing the surgery using small incisions (cuts). It is different from the “open” operation where the incision on the skin can be several inches long. Laparoscopy is done in cases where there is a need to the diagnosis conditions or performs surgery in the abdominal and pelvic area like to remove the uterus, fallopian tubes or ovaries, to diagnose or treat endometriosis, to assist female infertility, take a biopsy for testing, etc.
IUI (Intrauterine Insemination)
Intrauterine Insemination (IUI) is a fertility treatment that involves placing sperm inside a woman’s uterus to facilitate fertilisation. The goal of IUI is to increase the number of sperm that reach the fallopian tubes and subsequently increase the chance of fertilisation. It provides the sperm with an advantage by giving it a head start but still requires a sperm to reach and fertilise the egg on its own.
IVF (In Vitro Fertilisation)
In Vitro, Fertilisation or IVF is a fertilisation process in which the egg and sperm are combined outside the body in vitro(glass). It is one of the most commonly used assisted reproductive technologies. IVF is usually performed for women or couples who are struggling with infertility conditions or disorders or are unable to conceive despite having frequent unprotected intercourses. This method is generally safe and successful and can help people by giving a chance to experience parenthood.
ICSI (Intracytoplasmic sperm injection)
Intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) is a test-tube fertilization procedure in which a sperm is injected directly into an egg to achieve fertilization. ICSI is done for male infertility. By injecting a single sperm directly into an egg, ICSI helps sperm overcome many of the natural barriers they would encounter when fertilizing an egg.
Blastocyst Culture
The blastocyst is an embryo that is at an advanced stage of development, usually the fifth day of development. This procedure is used in Assisted Reproductive Technology, that involves transferring the blastocyst back into the uterus of the woman.
Hysteroscopy
Hysteroscopy is the inspection of the uterine cavity by endoscopy with access through the cervix in order to diagnose and treat causes of abnormal bleeding. It is done with the help of a hysteroscope, a thin, lighted tube that is inserted into the vagina to examine the cervix and inside of the uterus.
A hysteroscopy can be used to: investigate symptoms or problems – such as heavy periods, unusual vaginal bleeding, postmenopausal bleeding, pelvic pain, repeated miscarriages or difficulty getting pregnant. diagnose conditions – such as fibroids and polyps (non-cancerous growths in the womb)
The procedure shouldn't be painful. However, you may experience some cramping during the procedure. Your doctor may order some type of sedative for you to take beforehand so that you'll be more relaxed. The extent of anaesthesia you need will depend on the purpose of your hysteroscopy.
