Laparoscopy is a minimally invasive procedure that allows doctors to examine abdominal organs and diagnose conditions causing pelvic or abdominal pain when other methods, such as ultrasound and scanning, do not provide definitive results.
Conditions Diagnosed with Laparoscopy:- Endometriosis: Detection of endometrial tissue outside the uterus.
- Uterine Fibroids: Visualization of non-cancerous growths in the uterus.
- Ovarian Cysts/Tumors: Examination of ovarian anomalies.
- Ectopic Pregnancy: Identification of pregnancies located outside the uterus.
- Pelvic Abscess: Detection of infection or pus in the pelvic area.
- Pelvic Adhesions: Observation of internal scar tissue.
- Infertility: Investigation of potential causes of infertility.
- Pelvic Inflammatory Disease: Diagnosis of inflammation of the reproductive organs.
- Metastatic Spread: Identification of tumor spread in the abdominal cavity.
- Intestinal Obstruction: Detection and elimination of possible causes of obstruction.
During the procedure, doctors may also perform biopsies. Laparoscopy serves as both a diagnostic and therapeutic tool, offering a comprehensive instrument for various medical conditions. Symptoms after the procedure, such as fever, severe pain, or bleeding, require immediate medical consultation.
