🔴 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.
