LAPAROSCOPY is a minimally invasive surgical procedure used to examine and treat conditions inside the abdominal and pelvic cavity. A small camera called a laparoscope is inserted through tiny incisions, allowing the surgeon to view and perform procedures without the need for large cuts.
Why Laparoscopy?
Laparoscopy is primarily used to diagnose and treat conditions such as:
Endometriosis: To remove abnormal tissue growth.
Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID): To evaluate and treat infections.
Ovarian Cysts: To remove cysts or assess ovarian health.
Ectopic Pregnancy: To treat pregnancies outside the uterus.
Infertility: To evaluate the uterus, ovaries, and fallopian tubes.
Fibroids: To remove uterine fibroids causing pain or bleeding.
Procedure of Laparoscopy
The procedure is done under general anesthesia.
A small incision is made near the navel, and carbon dioxide gas is used to inflate the abdomen for better visibility.
A laparoscope is inserted to examine the organs. Additional instruments may be used to treat any abnormalities.
The procedure typically takes 30 minutes to 2 hours, depending on the complexity.
Risks Associated with Laparoscopy
Laparoscopy is generally safe, but risks include:
Bleeding or infection.
Damage to internal organs (rare).
Minor pain or bloating due to gas.
HYSTEROSCOPY is a diagnostic and therapeutic procedure used to examine the inside of the uterus. A hysteroscope, a thin tube with a camera, is inserted through the cervix to view or treat abnormalities.
Why Hysteroscopy?
Hysteroscopy is used for:
Abnormal Uterine Bleeding: To identify and treat causes of heavy or irregular periods.
Uterine Polyps or Fibroids: To remove non-cancerous growths.
Adhesions (Asherman’s Syndrome): To remove scar tissue affecting fertility.
Congenital Abnormalities: To correct uterine shape issues.
Recurrent Miscarriages: To evaluate uterine health.
Procedure of Hysteroscopy
Performed under local or general anesthesia.
A hysteroscope is gently inserted through the vagina and cervix into the uterus.
Saline solution or gas is used to expand the uterus for better visibility.
The procedure typically takes 15-30 minutes.
Risks Associated with Hysteroscopy
While rare, risks may include:
Uterine perforation.
Infection.
Cramping or spotting post-procedure.
A transvaginal ultrasound is a diagnostic procedure used to evaluate the female reproductive organs. It provides detailed images of the uterus, ovaries, and fallopian tubes, helping our specialists diagnose and treat various fertility issues. At Dalmia Infertility Centre, we use state-of-the-art ultrasound technology to ensure accurate and reliable results.
Why Transvaginal Ultrasound is Important?
Transvaginal ultrasound is essential for:
Assessing the health and structure of reproductive organs
Monitoring follicle development during fertility treatments
Detecting conditions such as cysts, fibroids, and endometriosis
How is Transvaginal Ultrasound Done?
The procedure involves the following steps:
Preparation:
The patient is asked to empty her bladder for better imaging
The patient lies on an examination table with feet in stirrups
Procedure:
A sterile, lubricated transducer (ultrasound probe) is gently inserted into the vagina
The transducer emits sound waves, creating images of the reproductive organs
The procedure takes about 15-20 minutes and is usually painless
Post-Procedure:
The results are reviewed by the specialist
Any abnormalities are discussed with the patient
Recommendations for further tests or treatments are provided if necessary
Transvaginal ultrasound is a safe and effective tool for diagnosing and managing fertility issues.
A follicular study is a series of transvaginal ultrasounds performed to monitor the growth and development of ovarian follicles. This study is crucial for timing ovulation and optimizing fertility treatments. At Dalmia Infertility Centre, our experienced team ensures precise monitoring to increase the chances of successful conception.
Why Follicular Study is Important?
A follicular study helps in:
Tracking the development of follicles during the menstrual cycle
Determining the optimal time for intercourse or insemination
Adjusting medication dosages for fertility treatments
How is Follicular Study Done?
The procedure involves the following steps:
Initial Consultation:
Review of medical history and menstrual cycle
Discussion of fertility goals and treatment plan
Ultrasound Monitoring:
Series of transvaginal ultrasounds starting from the early days of the menstrual cycle
Monitoring follicle size and endometrial thickness
Assessing the readiness for ovulation
Ovulation Induction:
Administration of medications to stimulate follicle growth if necessary
Adjustments to medication based on ultrasound findings
Timing of Procedure:
Determining the best time for ovulation induction, IUI, or IVF based on follicular development
Scheduling the procedure for optimal results
The follicular study is a vital component of fertility treatments, providing valuable insights into the patient’s ovulatory cycle.
Donor cycles involve the use of donated eggs or sperm to help individuals and couples achieve pregnancy. This option is often recommended for those facing specific fertility challenges. At Dalmia Infertility Centre, we offer a comprehensive donor program with thorough screening processes to ensure the highest quality of care and success.
Why Donor Cycles are Important?
Donor cycles can help in cases of:
Poor egg or sperm quality
Premature ovarian failure
Genetic disorders
Repeated IVF failures
How are Donor Cycles Done?
The procedure involves the following steps:
Preparation:
Thorough screening and selection of donors
Matching donors based on patient preferences and medical criteria
Stimulation and Retrieval:
Donor undergoes ovarian stimulation to produce multiple eggs
Eggs are retrieved and fertilized with sperm from the male partner or donor
Embryo Transfer:
Resulting embryos are cultured in the lab
Healthy embryos are selected for transfer into the recipient’s uterus
Post-Procedure:
Monitoring for pregnancy through blood tests and ultrasounds
Support and follow-up care throughout the pregnancy
Donor cycles offer a valuable solution for many individuals and couples, providing a pathway to parenthood when traditional methods are not an option.
CESAREAN DELIVERY is a surgical procedure to deliver a baby through an incision in the abdomen and uterus. It is often planned in advance but may also be performed as an emergency procedure.
Why Cesarean Delivery?
A C-section is recommended in cases such as:
Fetal Distress: When the baby shows signs of distress during labor.
Placenta Issues: Placenta previa or abruption.
Breech Position: Baby is positioned feet or buttocks first.
Multiple Births: Twins, triplets, or more.
Previous C-Section: To avoid complications from a vaginal birth.
Procedure of Cesarean Delivery
Performed under spinal or epidural anesthesia.
A horizontal incision is made in the lower abdomen and uterus.
The baby is delivered, and the incisions are closed with sutures.
The procedure takes about 45 minutes to an hour.
Risks Associated with Cesarean Delivery
Longer recovery time compared to vaginal delivery.
Infection at the incision site.
Blood loss or clots.
HYSTERECTOMY is a surgical procedure to remove the uterus. Depending on the condition, the cervix, ovaries, and fallopian tubes may also be removed.
Why Hysterectomy?
A hysterectomy is performed for:
Uterine Fibroids: Causing severe pain or bleeding.
Endometriosis: When other treatments fail.
Uterine or Cervical Cancer: To remove cancerous tissue.
Prolapsed Uterus: When the uterus descends into the vaginal canal.
Chronic Pelvic Pain: Due to gynecological conditions.
Procedure of Hysterectomy
Can be performed abdominally, vaginally, or laparoscopically.
The patient is under general anesthesia.
The uterus (and other affected structures) is removed.
The procedure duration varies from 1 to 2 hours.
Risks Associated with Hysterectomy
Infection or bleeding.
Hormonal changes if ovaries are removed.
Damage to surrounding organs (bladder or bowel).
