Laparoscopic Surgery (Obs & Gyn)

Laparoscopic Surgery (Obs & Gyn)

Laparoscopic surgery in Obstetrics and Gynaecology is a modern, minimally invasive technique that uses a small, camera-equipped instrument (laparoscope) inserted through tiny incisions to diagnose and treat pelvic conditions. This keyhole approach offers greater precision, minimal trauma, and quicker recovery. It’s commonly used to manage fibroids, cysts, endometriosis, and other gynaecological issues, making it a preferred option for many women.

Common Conditions Treated:

  • Uterine Fibroids
  • Ovarian Cysts
  • Endometriosis
  • Ectopic Pregnancy
  • Pelvic Adhesions
  • Blocked Fallopian Tubes
  • Chronic Pelvic Pain
  • Unexplained Infertility
  • Removal of Uterus (Hysterectomy)

Symptoms & When to Seek Help :

You may need laparoscopic evaluation or treatment if you experience:

  • Persistent lower abdominal or pelvic pain
  • Heavy or irregular menstrual bleeding
  • Painful periods or intercourse
  • Difficulty conceiving (infertility)
  • History of pelvic infections
  • Suspected fibroids or cysts on ultrasound

Causes of Common Gynaecological Issues:

  • Hormonal imbalances (e.g., estrogen dominance)
  • Endometrial tissue growth outside the uterus
  • Pelvic infections (PID)
  • Genetic factors or lifestyle choices
  • Past surgeries causing adhesions

Can These Be Prevented?

While not all conditions are preventable, you can reduce your risk with:

  • Regular pelvic check-ups
  • Timely treatment of infections
  • Hormonal balance through diet & exercise
