Dr. Mohamed Hamed Yehia, Consultant in Obstetrics, Gynecology, and Infertility, emphasizes that hysteroscopy and laparoscopy have become essential procedures before starting any IVF attempt, as they help accurately assess the case and detect any hidden issues that could prevent pregnancy.
Dr. Mohamed Hamed Yehia clarifies that there are two main types of endoscopy:
Hysteroscopy, used to examine the uterine cavity, detect polyps, or adhesions.
Laparoscopy, used to check the ovaries and fallopian tubes for cysts or blockages.
He stresses that choosing the appropriate type depends on the patient's individual condition.
Dr. Mohamed Hamed Yehia confirms that performing endoscopy before IVF significantly increases the chances of success, as it allows treatment of underlying conditions before embryo transfer. He warns that skipping this step may result in repeated IVF failures for unknown reasons.
Dr. Mohamed Hamed Yehia warns that performing these procedures requires a highly skilled and experienced physician, as any mishandling could lead to complications affecting fertility. He emphasizes that selecting the right doctor and clinic is crucial for a safe and successful procedure.
Dr. Mohamed Hamed Yehia explains that his clinic is equipped with state-of-the-art endoscopic devices, allowing both diagnostic and therapeutic procedures to be performed in a single session. This approach enhances treatment efficiency and increases the likelihood of a successful and safe pregnancy.
