Fertility Surgery: When & Why to Consider It?

Fertility surgery is a specialized treatment designed to address structural or medical conditions that affect the reproductive system, improving the chances of conception. It is recommended when other fertility treatments, such as medication or assisted reproductive technology (ART), have not been successful.

When Should You Consider Fertility Surgery?

You may need fertility surgery if you have:
✔ Blocked Fallopian Tubes – Preventing the sperm from reaching the egg.
✔ Uterine Fibroids & Polyps – Non-cancerous growths affecting implantation.
✔ Endometriosis – A condition where tissue similar to the uterine lining grows outside the uterus, affecting fertility.
✔ Ovarian Cysts or Adhesions – Causing irregular ovulation or preventing egg release.
✔ Varicocele (Male Infertility) – Enlarged veins in the scrotum reducing sperm quality.

Types of Fertility Surgeries & Their Effectiveness

🔹 Laparoscopy & Hysteroscopy – Minimally invasive procedures to diagnose and treat reproductive issues; success rates depend on the condition being treated.
🔹 Tubal Surgery – Helps restore normal function to blocked or damaged fallopian tubes; pregnancy rates vary based on age and health.
🔹 Myomectomy – Removes fibroids and improves implantation chances.
🔹 Varicocelectomy (for men) – Enhances sperm production and motility.

Studies suggest that fertility surgery can significantly improve pregnancy rates, especially for women with endometriosis or fibroids and men with varicocele. However, the success of surgery depends on individual health conditions, age, and other factors.
