Tubal Ligation: Empowering Your Reproductive Choices

The surgical treatment of “getting your tubes tied,” also known as tubal ligation, is exceedingly successful at preventing conception. In order to stop sperm from fertilizing your eggs, you must cut, block, or seal off your fallopian tubes. The fallopian tubes are referred to as “tubal”. A “ligation” is a tie. During this treatment, your fallopian tubes are either occluded by a clamp, clip, or band or sliced and bound with a specific thread (suture).

How is a tubal ligation done?

1. Laparoscopic Tubal Ligation:

• To assure slumber and painlessness during surgery, the patient is frequently given general anesthesia.
• One or more abdominal incisions are made by the surgeon.
• A laparoscope, a narrow, illuminated tube containing a camera, is placed through an incision to see the pelvis.
• Special instruments access and manipulate fallopian tubes.
• The surgeon may cut, clip, block, or cauterize each fallopian tube.
• After the surgery, stitches or adhesive strips close the incisions.

2. Hysteroscopic Tubal Ligation:

• Your doctor may do hysteroscopic tubal ligation, a less invasive procedure.
• The uterus is accessed through the vagina and cervix with a thin, flexible hysteroscope.
• Implanting tiny coils or plugs into the fallopian tubes causes scar tissue to develop and restrict the tubes.
• This procedure requires no abdominal incisions and recovers faster than laparoscopic tubal ligation.

3. Mini laparotomy:

• Mini laparotomy involves a little navel or lower abdomen incision.
• The surgeon finds and blocks or cuts the fallopian tubes.
• For women with specific medical issues or postpartum, mini laparotomy under general or regional anesthesia may be an option.

What are the benefits of having your tubes tied?

1. Tubal ligation is 99% successful and very practical. It shields you against getting pregnant for the rest of your life. You don’t have to go to the drugstore or gynecologist for birth control, and you never have to remember to take it or change it.
2. Birth control method without hormones: Some people like birth control methods without hormones. Hormonal changes are not caused by tubal ligation. Additionally, it doesn’t alter your cycle or bring on menopause.
3. Reduces the risk of developing illnesses or cancer: According to studies, tubal ligation can cut your risk of developing ovarian cancer by 40%.
