Laparoscopic Ovarian Surgeries · Ludhiana, Punjab
Comprehensive hormonal, metabolic, and fertility care for Polycystic Ovary Syndrome — from advanced diagnostics and lifestyle guidance to laparoscopic ovarian drilling (LOD) and IVF.
Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is one of the most common hormonal disorders affecting women of reproductive age and a major cause of anovulatory infertility. At Dr. Rama Sofat Hospital, we recognize that PCOS is not just about irregular periods — it is a complex hormonal and metabolic condition that impacts your overall health, appearance, and fertility. Our approach combines advanced diagnostics, lifestyle guidance, hormonal correction, and when required, laparoscopic ovarian drilling (LOD) or IVF to help you conceive safely and naturally.
PCOS occurs when hormonal imbalance prevents regular ovulation. This leads to the formation of multiple small cysts on the ovaries and excess production of male hormones (androgens).
If left untreated, PCOS can increase the risk of type 2 diabetes, obesity, endometrial hyperplasia, and infertility.
If you notice these symptoms, early evaluation by a fertility specialist can make all the difference.
This allows us to personalize every treatment plan based on your hormonal profile, age, and fertility goals.
PCOS is one of the leading causes of female infertility because irregular ovulation makes it difficult for eggs to mature and release. Additionally, high insulin and androgen levels reduce egg quality and affect uterine receptivity, making conception harder even with timed cycles. However, with the right treatment — from ovulation induction to laparoscopic ovarian drilling or IVF — most women with PCOS successfully conceive.
The first step is to restore natural ovulation and regulate hormones.
Lifestyle Modifications
Weight loss through balanced diet and regular exercise.
Medications
This approach is often successful in mild to moderate PCOS cases.
A precision fertility-enhancing surgery. When medications fail to induce ovulation, LOD offers a highly effective and minimally invasive alternative.
What is LOD?
A laparoscopic procedure where small punctures are made in the thickened ovarian surface using a fine electrocautery needle or laser. This reduces androgen-producing tissue, helps in follicle maturation, and restores spontaneous ovulation.
How It's Done
If pregnancy does not occur after LOD or medical therapy, IVF becomes the next step. Women with PCOS often respond well to IVF when stimulation is done with customized low-dose protocols to prevent Ovarian Hyperstimulation Syndrome (OHSS). Our fertility experts monitor each cycle closely to achieve the best outcomes while ensuring safety.
At Dr. Rama Sofat Hospital, we use 4K HD high-definition laparoscopic systems for unparalleled precision, ensuring maximum ovarian preservation and safety.
Most women begin ovulating regularly within a few weeks after LOD, and many conceive naturally within 3–6 months. Once pregnancy occurs, special care is taken to monitor for gestational diabetes and high blood pressure, which are slightly more common in PCOS.
These steps not only improve fertility but also promote overall well-being.
