Fertility

Infertility has become very common these days, and every other couple seeks treatment for their infertility. Medical treatment may help treat conditions related to hormonal imbalance or organ dysfunction to a certain extent. Surgery can be performed to repair the damaged or blocked fallopian tubes, treat endometriosis, remove fibroids or polyps in the uterus, or treat the swollen veins in the scrotum. Surgeries can also be performed to detect the underlying cause of infertility.

Some of these conditions can be treated by procedures like laparoscopy and hysteroscopy. Other techniques used to treat infertility include in-vitro-fertilization, IUI, fallopian tube surgery, laparoscopic surgery for endometriosis and submucosal fibroids, laparoscopic ovarian drilling, testicular biopsy, testicular sperm aspiration, percutaneous sperm aspiration, vasectomy reversal, etc.
