Ovarian Drilling Surgery
Restoring Ovulation in Women with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS)
Ovarian Drilling Surgery is a minimally invasive laparoscopic procedure used to stimulate ovulation in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) who have not responded to fertility medications. This procedure helps restore hormonal balance and improve natural conception chances.
Who Can Benefit from Ovarian Drilling?
- Have PCOS and are not ovulating naturally despite lifestyle changes and medications.
- Have insulin resistance and hormonal imbalances that affect ovulation.
- Have tried multiple cycles of ovulation-inducing medications (Clomid, Letrozole) without success.
- Prefer a surgical approach over long-term medication use to induce ovulation.
How is Ovarian Drilling Performed?
Pre-Surgical Evaluation
- Hormonal testing (LH, FSH, AMH) and ultrasound to assess ovarian size.
- Discussion of fertility goals and alternative treatment options.
Laparoscopic Ovarian Drilling Procedure
- A small incision is made in the abdomen to insert a laparoscope (tiny camera).
- The surgeon uses a specialized laser or electrocautery to create tiny punctures in the ovarian surface.
- This reduces excess androgen (male hormone) production and improves ovulatory function.
- The procedure is minimally invasive and performed under general anesthesia.
Post-Surgery Recovery & Fertility Monitoring
- Recovery time is 1-2 weeks, with minimal discomfort.
- Hormone levels and ovulation are monitored over the next few months.
- Women may conceive naturally or with minimal medical assistance after the procedure.
