Laproscopic Ovarian Drilling Treatment in Bangalore

If you have been diagnosed with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS),you are probably no stranger to fertility problems. You may have tried to lose weight or take different fertility drugs to help you conceive. But if these PCOS fertility treatments did not work for you, you may wonder if there is another option. Ovarian drilling could be your answer.

Ovarian drilling for PCOS treatment:

Polycystic ovary syndrome can cause your body to produce too much testosterone and insulin, leading to fertility problems. High testosterone levels can cause irregular menstrual cycles, prevent ovulation and hinder pregnancy. PCOS treatments, including ovarian drilling, could help you conceive by regulating your hormone levels and improving your ovulation and menstrual cycles. Laproscopic ovarian drilling may also increase ovarian blood flow, allowing a high delivery of gonadotrophins and post-surgical local growth factors. There is also an improvement of insulin sensitivity after ovarian drilling which helps in ovulation.

Laparoscopic ovarian drilling may improve the effectiveness of other ovulation induction treatments. The oral drug, clomiphene citrate , is the first-line treatment for PCOS, yet, one fifth of women are resistant to the drug and fail to ovulate. In such cases, laproscopic ovarian dirlling may prove to be an effective alternative.

How does ovarian drilling work?

It may sound scary, but “ovarian drilling” is relatively simple and minimally invasive. Ovarian drilling is a laparoscopic procedure performed under general anesthesia. The surgery is typically done on an outpatient basis with minimal recovery time. Here is how ovarian drilling works:

1. Your surgeon makes a small incision below your belly button. Because the incisions are so small, laparoscopy is often called "Band-Aid surgery."
2. He or she inserts a tube into your abdomen, filling itwith carbon dioxide. This inflates your abdomen and prevents damage to your internal organs.
3. A thin telescope with a camera attached is inserted into your abdomen, allowing your surgeon to view your internal organs and ovaries. Guided by the camera, the surgeon inserts special tools and uses an electric current to make very small holes on your ovaries. The common technique of ovarian drilling is the use of monopolar electrocautery (diathermy) or laser with comparable results. Normally, three to eight diathermy punctures are performed in each ovary using 40 watts energy for each puncture.

Will ovarian drilling work for me?

If your periods become regular after ovarian drilling, your chances of pregnancy are good. About half of all women that go through with ovarian drilling become pregnant within one year. Even if your cycles do not become more regular after ovarian drilling, you may have better success in getting pregnant with the help of fertility drugs.

Advantages of Laproscopic

  

Ovarian Drilling:

Ovarian drilling has lower rates of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome and of multi-fetal gestation. The advantages of the procedure also include its singular treatment, as opposed to several trials of ovulation inductions. Other benefits of this technique include cost-effectiveness and that it can be performed as an outpatient procedure.

Talk with your doctor to determine if you are a good candidate for ovarian drilling. By regulating your cycles for several months or more, ovarian drilling may offer you a window of opportunity to become pregnant that you did not have before.
