Ovarian Drilling Treatment

Ovarian drilling, also known as ovarian diathermy or laparoscopic ovarian drilling (LOD), is a surgical procedure used to treat polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) in women who have not responded to other treatments such as medications or lifestyle changes.

Ovarian drilling is typically considered when other treatments for PCOS have been unsuccessful, and it is usually performed by a gynecologist with expertise in laparoscopic surgery. As with any surgical procedure, there are risks and potential complications associated with ovarian drilling, so it’s essential to discuss the potential benefits and risks with a healthcare provider before undergoing the procedure.

Symptoms

These symptoms are characteristic of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), a hormonal disorder common among women of reproductive age. The symptoms may include:

  1. Missed periods, irregular periods, or very light periods: PCOS can cause disruptions in the menstrual cycle, leading to irregular or infrequent periods.

  2. Hairfall or thinning hair: Elevated levels of androgens (male hormones) in PCOS can lead to hair thinning or excessive hair loss, particularly on the scalp.

  3. Infertility: PCOS is a leading cause of female infertility due to irregular ovulation or lack of ovulation.

  4. Acne or oily skin: Androgen excess in PCOS can cause acne and oily skin due to increased sebum production.

  5. Enlarged ovaries with multiple cysts: PCOS is characterized by the presence of multiple small cysts on the ovaries, which can be visualized on ultrasound imaging.

When to access Medical Care

  • If you are experiencing symptoms of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) or are having difficulty conceiving, it’s essential to consult with a healthcare provider, typically a gynecologist or reproductive endocrinologist, who can evaluate your symptoms and provide appropriate management.
  • If infertility is a concern, further evaluation and treatment options may be explored. Depending on individual circumstances, fertility treatments such as ovulation induction with medications, intrauterine insemination (IUI), or in vitro fertilization (IVF) may be recommended.

Determinants of risk

Indeed, laparoscopy, like any surgical procedure, carries certain risks and potential complications, including:

  1. Infection of the incision site.
  2. Bleeding from the incision or internally.
  3. Internal bleeding, particularly if blood vessels are inadvertently injured during the procedure.
  4. Accidental injury to internal organs or major blood vessels, either from the laparoscope or surgical instruments.
  5. Postoperative pain, often due to the inflation of the abdomen with gas during the procedure.
  6. Anesthesia-related problems.
  7. Formation of adhesions or scarring within the body, which may cause complications in the future.

In the specific case of ovarian drilling, which is often performed as part of laparoscopic surgery for conditions such as polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), there are additional risks to consider. Ovarian drilling may affect ovarian function and potentially reduce the number of eggs available for ovulation. In some cases, it may lead to early menopause. Individuals considering ovarian drilling should discuss these potential risks with their healthcare provider to make an informed decision about the procedure.

Recovery process

Recovery duration varies, contingent on factors like patient characteristics, chosen procedure, and the extent of severity.
