Fertility Surgery near Mandeville LA

Can Surgery Treat Infertility?

Fertility surgery can be part of your fertility care and treatment in multiple ways. Your fertility specialist may recommend fertility surgery to diagnose a potential structural cause of your infertility, remove fibroids and other obstructions in your reproductive organs, and correct some structural cause of infertility.

Your fertility specialist will begin any fertility treatment process with a fertility assessment. This assessment identifies potential causes of infertility so your fertility specialist can create a personalized fertility treatment plan, which may include surgery.

Who Is a Good Candidate for Fertility Surgery?

Your fertility specialist will inform you if you are a good candidate for fertility surgery. When considering your treatment options, we consider a wide range of information, such as your family history, medical history, and reproductive goals. We are also here to answer any questions that you have during our conversations.

Good candidates for fertility surgery may be:

• Those with conditions that affect reproductive organs, such as uterine fibroids, PCOS, and endometriosis
• Those with intrauterine pathologies like scar tissue, small polyps, or placental or fetal tissue in the uterus after pregnancy loss
• Those who need additional imaging to help determine the cause of infertility
• Those who have unexplained infertility

If you have questions about the type of fertility treatment that is right for you, ask your fertility specialist. We want to provide you with the information you need in a judgment-free and compassionate environment.

Types of Fertility Surgery

Fertility surgery can have different goals depending on the type of surgery you have. Fertility surgeries are minimally invasive procedures with few to no scars, less pain, and shorter recovery time.

If your fertility specialist requires more imaging of your reproductive organs, they may recommend a hysteroscopy. Your fertility specialist will guide a camera through your cervix and into the uterus for a closer look at the internal structures of your uterus. No incision is required for a hysteroscopy.

If your fertility specialist or previous medical provider has diagnosed you with a structural cause of infertility, laparoscopic surgery may help. Using a small camera and specialized tools, your fertility specialist can remove tissue samples for evaluation, remove adhesions or cysts, and fix anatomical issues that may be preventing pregnancy.

The Fertility Institute is proud to have the only Minimally Invasive Gynecological Surgeon on staff who can perform minimally invasive procedures to treat infertility. Dr. Stacey Scheib’s highly specialized skill set helps our patients recover as quickly as possible so they can go on to build their families.
