FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Ovarian drilling is a minimally invasive laparoscopic procedure for women with PCOD who struggle with ovulation. It uses precise heat energy to make small punctures on the ovary's surface, reducing androgen levels and improving the chance of natural ovulation and pregnancy.
The surgery is done under general anesthesia using laparoscopy. A small incision is made in the abdomen, and a laparoscope with a tiny camera is inserted. The surgeon then uses controlled heat to make small punctures on each ovary to support normal ovulation.
Since it is performed under general anesthesia, patients do not feel pain during the procedure. After surgery, mild abdominal discomfort or shoulder-tip pain may occur due to the gas used in laparoscopy, but it usually resolves within a few days with prescribed medication.
Ovarian drilling may help restart ovulation, reduce excess androgen production, and reduce dependency on high-dose fertility medicines in selected women who have not responded to first-line PCOD treatments.
This procedure is suitable for selected women with PCOD who have irregular ovulation and have not responded well to medications like Clomiphene or Letrozole. It may also be considered as part of fertility planning after specialist evaluation.
