Surgery

You can even get a minor surgical procedure called laparoscopic ovarian drilling (LOD) done for fertility problems linked with PCOS. During this surgery, under general anesthetic, your doctor will make a small cut in your lower abdomen. A long, thin microscope called a laparoscope will be inserted through into your abdomen.

The ovaries will then be surgically operated using heat or a laser to dissolve the tissue that’s producing androgens (male hormones). LOD has been seen to lower levels of testosterone and luteinizing hormone (LH) and raise levels of follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH). This changes your hormone imbalance and can repair the normal function of your ovaries.
