Hi,
Bilateral latency means that both the tubes does not have any block. Yes, sometimes, we need laparoscopy to see if there is any associated endometriosis or abnormal ovaries or any features of tuberculosis. These are the other reasons for not getting pregnant. You can ask your doctor always regarding your doubts. They will help you out of your anxiety and fear of the procedure.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Archana Rajesh Babu, OB & GYN Specialist
