Infertility: an Overview (booklet)
Infertility is typically defined as the inability to achieve pregnancy after one year of unprotected intercourse.
Laparoscopy and Hysteroscopy
Laparoscopy and hysteroscopy can be used for both diagnostic (looking only) and operative (looking and treating) purposes.
Treatment of uterine fibroids
Do all fibroids require treatment? Not usually, because most patients with fibroids do not have symptoms.
Hydrosalpinx
The fallopian tubes are attached to the uterus (womb) on the left and right sides.
Minimally invasive surgery
Surgery is termed “minimally invasive” if it uses small or no incisions (cuts).
Ovarian drilling for infertility
Often, women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) do not have regular menstrual periods.
What do I need to know about conceiving after tubal surgery?
Fallopian tubes connect the ovary (where the eggs are stored and grow) to the uterus (womb), where the fertilized egg develops into a baby (fetus).
