Fertility Enhancing

arguing medical workers

For couples struggling with infertility, non-surgical treatments like medication or assisted reproductive technologies (ART) may not always be sufficient. In certain cases, underlying anatomical issues in the reproductive system can prevent conception or lead to recurrent pregnancy loss. Fertility-enhancing surgeries are specialized procedures designed to correct these physical abnormalities and improve the chances of natural conception or successful outcomes in fertility treatments.

Dr. Sandeep Talwar, a renowned fertility specialist in Delhi, offers a range of fertility-enhancing surgical procedures aimed at optimizing reproductive health. With decades of experience and expertise, Dr. Talwar ensures that these surgeries are performed with precision and care, helping couples realize their dream of parenthood.

What Are Fertility-Enhancing Surgeries?

Fertility-enhancing surgeries are medical procedures designed to correct structural problems in the reproductive organs—such as the uterus, fallopian tubes, or ovaries—that may be contributing to infertility. These surgeries can be performed using minimally invasive techniques, such as laparoscopy or hysteroscopy, which allow for faster recovery and minimal discomfort.

Who Needs Fertility-Enhancing Surgery?

Surgical intervention may be recommended for women who have:

  • Blocked or Damaged Fallopian Tubes: Blockages in the fallopian tubes can prevent the egg from reaching the uterus or the sperm from reaching the egg, causing infertility. Surgery may be needed to open or repair the tubes.
  • Uterine Abnormalities: Structural issues in the uterus, such as fibroids, polyps, septum, or adhesions (Asherman’s syndrome), can interfere with implantation or cause miscarriages. Surgery can correct these abnormalities.
  • Endometriosis: Endometriosis occurs when the tissue that normally lines the uterus grows outside of it, causing pain and infertility. Surgery may be needed to remove these abnormal tissue growths.
  • Ovarian Cysts or Tumors: Large cysts or benign tumors in the ovaries can affect fertility by disrupting normal ovulation or damaging ovarian tissue. Surgery can be performed to remove these cysts while preserving ovarian function.
  • Pelvic Adhesions: Adhesions are bands of scar tissue that can form after infection, inflammation, or previous surgery. They can cause the reproductive organs to stick together, leading to infertility. Surgery can be done to remove these adhesions.

Common Fertility-Enhancing Surgeries

  1. Laparoscopy
    Laparoscopy is a minimally invasive surgical technique used to diagnose and treat infertility caused by conditions such as endometriosis, ovarian cysts, or pelvic adhesions. During this procedure, a small incision is made in the abdomen, and a thin, lighted tube (laparoscope) is inserted to visualize and treat the reproductive organs.

    Laparoscopy can be used to:

    • Remove endometriotic lesions
    • Remove ovarian cysts
    • Treat adhesions
    • Evaluate the fallopian tubes for blockages
  2. Hysteroscopy
    Hysteroscopy is a procedure that allows the surgeon to look inside the uterus and treat any abnormalities that may affect fertility. A thin telescope-like instrument (hysteroscope) is inserted through the cervix into the uterus, allowing for the diagnosis and treatment of problems such as uterine fibroids, polyps, septum, or scar tissue.

    Hysteroscopy can be used to:

    • Remove fibroids or polyps inside the uterus
    • Correct uterine septum (a congenital defect that divides the uterus)
    • Treat Asherman’s syndrome (uterine adhesions)
  3. Tubal Surgery
    Tubal surgery is performed to repair or unblock fallopian tubes that have been damaged or blocked due to infection, previous surgeries, or conditions like hydrosalpinx (fluid-filled tubes). The aim of tubal surgery is to restore normal tubal function and increase the chances of natural conception.

    Types of tubal surgery include:

    • Tubal Recanalization: Opening blocked tubes using specialized instruments
    • Salpingectomy: Removing a damaged section of the tube that may be affecting fertility
    • Tubal Reanastomosis: Reconnecting tubes that have been previously tied or blocked
  4. Myomectomy
    A myomectomy is a surgical procedure to remove uterine fibroids (non-cancerous growths in the uterus) that may cause infertility, heavy bleeding, or recurrent pregnancy loss. Myomectomy can be performed laparoscopically, hysteroscopically, or via an open incision, depending on the size and location of the fibroids.

  5. Ovarian Drilling
    Ovarian drilling is a laparoscopic procedure used to treat polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) in women who do not respond to ovulation-inducing medications. Small holes are drilled into the surface of the ovaries to stimulate ovulation.

Benefits of Fertility-Enhancing Surgery

  • Improved Fertility: Correcting structural issues in the reproductive organs can significantly increase the chances of natural conception or improve the success rates of assisted reproductive technologies like IVF.
  • Minimally Invasive: Most fertility-enhancing surgeries are performed using minimally invasive techniques, such as laparoscopy or hysteroscopy, resulting in faster recovery and less postoperative discomfort.
  • Restoration of Reproductive Health: Surgery can address the underlying causes of infertility and improve overall reproductive health, making it easier for couples to achieve pregnancy.

What to Expect During and After Surgery

  • Fertility-enhancing surgeries are typically performed under general anesthesia, and patients can often go home the same day or after a short hospital stay. Recovery time varies depending on the type of surgery, but most patients can resume normal activities within a few days to a couple of weeks.

    Dr. Sandeep Talwar will provide detailed preoperative and postoperative instructions to ensure a smooth and successful recovery.
