🔴 Many of you might have heard about laparoscopies or had a laparoscopy or two before.
🟢 A laparoscopy is a surgical procedure where a camera is put into your abdomen to enable your surgeon or see your organs on a screen.
🔴 The camera is usually placed into your belly through a small cut just below your belly button.
🟢 There are several procedures that can be performed with the help of laparoscopy. This procedure is used by surgeons and gynecologists .
🔴 You might need a laparoscopy just to take a look to see if your abdominal and pelvic organs are ok.
🟢 You might also need a laparoscopy to evaluate pelvic pain, causes of infertility, to diagnose endometriosis ( best way to diagnose this ) , to see how much or if the organs in your abdomen or pelvis are stuck together, to enable your surgeon or obgyn take a look at any growths in your abdomen ( tumors, cysts, etc), or for other surgical procedure like the removal of cysts, fallopian tubes, your womb, etc.
🔴 You can have a laparoscopic :
💥 Myomectomy- removal of fibroids
💥 Salpingectomy - removal of fallopian tube(s)
💥 Adnexectomy ( Salpingo -oophorectomy )- removal of ovary and fallopian tube tubes
💥 Hysterectomy- removal of womb
💥 Ovarian cystectomy - removal of an ovarian cyst
💥 Adhesiolysis - separating your organs sticking together
💥 Chromopertubation - checking to see if your tubes are working
💥 etc
🟢 Ectopic pregnancies can also be dealt with surgically via laparoscopy
🔴 Laparoscopies are usually safe because they are smaller surgical procedures.
🟢 They can however come with some risks like :
💥 bleeding
💥 infection
💥 damage to organs in your abdomen.
💥 complications from general anesthesia
💥 inflammation of the abdominal wall
💥 blood clot formation, which could travel to your pelvis, legs, or lungs and can lead to death ( medication and other measures are usually given to prevent this)
🔴 If you feel unwell after surgery, you need to let your obgyn know.
🟢 Recovery after surgery is usually very quick, depending on the laparoscopy type you had.
🔴 Having a laparoscopy in no way means you cannot exercise again in your life. Your obgyn will let you know when you can begin exercising post surgery.
🟢 You should always have in mind what type of laparoscopy you had when giving out your medical history. Its not enough to say you had a laparoscopy.
