Frozen Embryo Transfer (FET)
Overview
Hysteroscopy and laparoscopy are advanced diagnostic and surgical procedures used in fertility care to evaluate and treat conditions affecting the uterus, fallopian tubes, and ovaries. Hysteroscopy involves using a thin, lighted tube inserted through the cervix to examine the inside of the uterus, while laparoscopy is a minimally invasive surgery using a small camera inserted through an abdominal incision to view pelvic organs. These procedures provide precise insights and solutions for fertility challenges with minimal discomfort and downtime.
Hysteroscopy and laparoscopy are performed to:
- Diagnose and treat uterine abnormalities, such as fibroids, polyps, or adhesions.
- Investigate unexplained infertility or recurrent miscarriages.
- Detects and manages endometriosis or pelvic infections.
- Evaluate and remove blockages in the fallopian tubes.
- Confirm and address ectopic pregnancies or ovarian cysts.
Ideal Candidates for Hysteroscopy & Laparoscopy
These procedures are suitable for:
- Women experiencing unexplained infertility or irregular menstrual cycles.
- Patients with a history of miscarriage or suspected uterine abnormalities.
- Individuals with pelvic pain, suspected endometriosis, or ovarian cysts.
- Those requiring tubal evaluation for blockages or adhesions.

2. Diagnostic Tests: Blood tests, imaging, or other tests may be required to ensure you’re fit for the procedure.
3. Fasting: Avoid eating or drinking for 6–8 hours before the procedure.
4. Medication: Your doctor may recommend stopping certain medications or starting antibiotics to minimize infection risks.
5. Lifestyle Adjustments: Avoid smoking or alcohol consumption in the days leading up to the procedure.
Procedure
- Hysteroscopy:
- Performed under local or general anesthesia.
- A hysteroscope is gently inserted through the cervix to view the uterus.
- Any abnormalities, such as fibroids or adhesions, can be treated during the same session.
- Laparoscopy:
- Conducted under general anesthesia.
- A small incision is made near the navel, and a laparoscope is inserted to examine the pelvic organs.
- Additional instruments may be used to perform treatments like removing cysts or endometrial tissue.
Both procedures are minimally invasive and typically completed within 1–2 hours.
After the Procedure
- Recovery Time: Most patients can go home the same day but may need a few days to rest.
- Follow-Up: A follow-up consultation is scheduled to review findings and discuss next steps.
- Temporary Discomfort: Mild cramping, bloating, or spotting may occur but usually subsides within a few days.
Results
The results of hysteroscopy and laparoscopy provide valuable insights into reproductive health and often pave the way for effective fertility treatments. In many cases, these procedures resolve underlying issues, improving the chances of successful conception.
Potential Risks
While these procedures are generally safe, potential risks include:
- Mild bleeding or infection.
- Allergic reaction to anesthesia.
- Injury to surrounding organs, though rare.
- Temporary discomfort or bloating.
Your doctor will take all precautions to minimize risks and ensure a smooth recovery.
