In Hong Kong, only married couples can undergo assisted reproductive treatment. Depending on the causes of infertility, there are several options available.

Reproductive Surgeries (Laparoscopy/Hysteroscopy)

• To improve ovulation: Laparoscopic ovarian drilling for women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) improves spontaneous ovulation.
• To correct blocked tubes: Laparoscopic tubal surgery can correct blocked tubes and improve the chances of natural pregnancy.
• To remove endometriosis: Laparoscopic surgery relieves symptoms (e.g. painful periods) and improves fertility.
• To remove ovarian cyst/endometrial polyp/uterine fibroid: relieves symptoms and improves fertility in some situations.
• To remove hydrosalpinx (fallopian tube with fluid collection) before in-vitro fertilization (IVF) to improve IVF success rates.
