Many IVF patients are advised to do a hysteroscopy and/or
a laparoscopy before starting IVF treatment.
Now, this makes a lot of sense for the doctor because they
can charge for every surgical procedure - and the more the procedures they do,
the more the money they make. But the reality is that most of these operations
are completely uncalled for, and they need to be used very selectively. Thus,
it may make sense to do a hysteroscopy in case the ultrasound shows that you
have a polyp, but if your vaginal ultrasound scan shows your endometrium is
normal, then there's no justification to subjecting you to this surgery.
Yes, the doctor will claim it's a "minor
procedure", but for a patient, every procedure is major. And remember that
nothing in life is risk-free !
And definitely don't do let the doctor do a laparoscopy ,
because there's nothing in a laparoscopy which will change the IVF treatment
plan. Yes, some doctors will clip a large hydrosalpinx if you have this, but
again, this should not be done on a routine basis. And if your doctor insists
that you have this surgery done before doing IVF for you, this is a red flag
and you should find a better doctor.
What to find an IVF clinic which respects your time and intelligence ?
