Pooja Verma, a 32-year-old software engineer,...
Pooja Verma, a 32-year-old software engineer, had been trying to conceive for three years. Her journey was marked by two heartbreaking miscarriages and a diagnosis of blocked fallopian tubes (hydrosalpinx) following a pelvic infection years prior. She experienced chronic, dull pelvic pain and a persistent, heavy feeling that worsened around her period. Her fertility specialist referred her to urologist Dr. Kapoor, explaining that the fluid from the hydrosalpinx was toxic to embryos and significantly reduced the success of IVF. Dr. Kapoor recommended laparoscopic salpingectomy (removal of the tubes) to improve her chances. Pooja was terrified of surgery but even more terrified of another failed IVF cycle. The laparoscopic procedure went smoothly, with three small incisions. Recovery was quicker than she expected; she was home the next day and back to light work in a week. The chronic pain was gone. Emotionally, she moved from a place of grief and feeling 'broken' to one of cautious hope. While she knows the path to motherhood now relies solely on IVF, she feels a burden has been lifted, and she and her husband are preparing for their next embryo transfer with renewed optimism.
