Laser Ovarian Drilling

Laser Ovarian Drilling at Chawla IVF Centre
What is Laser Ovarian Drilling?
Laser ovarian drilling (LOD) is a minimally invasive surgical procedure used to treat women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) who have not responded to conventional treatments like medication and lifestyle changes. PCOS often leads to anovulation (lack of ovulation), causing infertility. LOD involves using laser technology to create tiny holes in the ovarian surface, which can help restore regular ovulation and improve fertility.

The Laser Ovarian Drilling Procedure
Initial Consultation and Evaluation: Your journey begins with a thorough consultation, including a detailed medical history and diagnostic tests such as blood work and ultrasound, to confirm PCOS and assess your overall health.

Pre-Operative Preparation: You will receive specific instructions to prepare for the procedure, including guidelines on fasting, medications, and lifestyle adjustments.

The Procedure: LOD is performed under general anesthesia. The surgeon makes small incisions in the abdomen and inserts a laparoscope (a thin, lighted tube with a camera). Using the laser, tiny holes are drilled into the ovarian surface, which helps to reduce the production of androgens (male hormones) and stimulate ovulation.

Recovery: After the procedure, you will be monitored in a recovery room before being discharged. Most patients can return home the same day. We will provide detailed post-operative care instructions to ensure a smooth recovery.

Follow-Up: Follow-up visits are essential to monitor your recovery, assess the return of regular ovulation, and discuss further fertility treatments if necessary. Our team will be available to support you throughout this process.

Benefits of Laser Ovarian Drilling
Minimally Invasive: LOD involves small incisions, leading to less pain, reduced scarring, and quicker recovery compared to traditional surgery.
Improved Ovulation: The procedure can restore regular ovulation in women with PCOS, significantly enhancing fertility.
Reduced Hormone Levels: LOD can lower the levels of androgens, helping to alleviate symptoms of PCOS such as acne and excessive hair growth.
Enhanced Fertility Treatments: For women undergoing IVF or other fertility treatments, LOD can improve the responsiveness of the ovaries to stimulation.
Who Can Benefit from Laser Ovarian Drilling?
LOD may be beneficial for women who:

Have been diagnosed with PCOS and experience anovulation
Have not responded to first-line treatments such as clomiphene citrate or letrozole
