ovarian drilling
Ovarian drilling is a surgical procedure used to treat women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), a condition that can cause irregular periods and difficulty ovulating. During the procedure, a surgeon makes tiny holes in the surface of the ovaries using a laser or a thin surgical tool. This helps to reduce the production of male hormones and restore normal ovulation. Ovarian drilling is typically considered after other treatments, like medication, haven't been successful. It is usually performed minimally invasively through small incisions, allowing for quicker recovery and improved chances of pregnancy.
