I was diagnosed with polycystic ovaries, and after a year, the cysts have not gone away. My gynecologist said that if the cysts still do not go away by the time of my next visit (six months), we should seriously consider laparoscopy.
I'm confused about an ovarian laparoscopy. The way it was explained to me, I think my doctor just wanted to look. I read online that laparoscopy is used just to see. However, I have also read that if an abnormality is seen, such as a cyst, the doctor will drain them. Also, is this what is called "ovarian drilling"? I heard that if I develop scar tissue, I will not be able to get pregnant. What are the chances that I will be scarred? Lastly, would this be for both ovaries?
Thank you.
