Diagnostic Hysteroscopy & Laparoscopy (DHL) in Jaipur

Advanced Keyhole Surgery for Infertility by Dr. Sapna Basandani

Restore Your Fertility with Minimally Invasive DHL Surgery at Anmol Fertility Center

Infertility is not always caused by hormonal imbalance or poor egg and sperm quality. In many cases, structural abnormalities of the uterus, fallopian tubes, ovaries, or pelvic organs can affect a couple’s ability to conceive. Diagnostic Hysteroscopy & Laparoscopy (DHL) combines two minimally invasive procedures that help diagnose and treat these conditions in a single session.

At Anmol Fertility Center, Jaipur, Dr. Sapna Basandani offers advanced keyhole surgery using modern laparoscopic and hysteroscopic techniques to improve fertility while minimizing pain, scarring, and recovery time.


What is DHL?

DHL (Diagnostic Hysteroscopy & Laparoscopy) is a combination of two minimally invasive procedures:

  • Hysteroscopy examines the inside of the uterus using a thin telescope inserted through the cervix.
  • Laparoscopy examines the uterus, ovaries, fallopian tubes, and pelvic cavity through tiny abdominal incisions using a laparoscope.

These procedures help diagnose infertility and often allow treatment during the same operation.


Who Should Consider DHL?

Diagnostic Hysteroscopy & Laparoscopy may be recommended for women who have:

  • Unexplained infertility
  • Recurrent IVF failure
  • Recurrent pregnancy loss
  • Endometriosis
  • Ovarian cysts
  • Uterine fibroids
  • Pelvic adhesions
  • Blocked fallopian tubes
  • Abnormal uterine bleeding
  • Congenital uterine abnormalities
  • Suspected uterine polyps
  • Chronic pelvic pain

Benefits of DHL

Accurate Diagnosis

Provides a direct view of the uterus and pelvic organs for a more precise diagnosis.

Simultaneous Treatment

Many fertility-related conditions can be corrected during the same procedure.

Minimally Invasive Surgery

Small incisions mean less pain, minimal blood loss, and smaller scars.

Faster Recovery

Most patients return to their normal routine within a few days.

Better Fertility Outcomes

Correcting structural abnormalities may improve the chances of natural conception or increase the success of fertility treatments such as IUI and IVF.
