Although it is reasonable and sometimes advisable to perform laparoscopy
to identify and treat pelvic disease, this procedure is not routinely
performed in every infertility evaluation. Laparoscopy is expensive and
involves some small surgical risk. You and your physician should discuss
whether or not laparoscopy is recommended in your particular case.
Sometimes your physician may not recommend a laparoscopy initially,
but may instead recommend it at a later time depending on your response
to treatment.
