What is tubal ligation?

ligature.jpg

La tubal ligation It is performed through a surgery that tries to separate and / or close the Fallopian tube of a woman to produce her permanent sterility.

By closing the passage of the ovules from the ovary to the uterus and the sperm in the opposite direction, it is achieved that they cannot join and produce fertilization.

Tubal ligation surgery is done under anesthesia, in a suitable operating room, both in a hospital and in a center prepared for it.

A small cut is made at the level of the navel through which a laparoscope is passed, which is a tube with cold light at the end to access the tubes. Through the same instrument, the suture is performed in both parts of each tube and it is cut or coagulated in the middle of these two sutures, leaving the tubes separated and not permeable to the passage of eggs or sperm.

The small incision is closed and after recovery from anesthesia the patient can go home for convalescence. Recovery is in a few days and no confirmation test for sterility is required. You can take analgesics for pain and should not be done in a few days exercises or intense efforts.

Reflections on tubal ligation

Tubal ligation is considered a permanent sterilization method, therefore women who undergo this technique must be very sure that they do not want to have more children. Young women often regret this type of sterilization, so it must be well advised and have the decision sufficiently evaluated.

Surgery to restore the patency of the tubes requires a more sophisticated and complicated surgical procedure and the success of this procedure is usually 70% of cases to be able to become pregnant again.

Risks:
The normals of all surgery with anesthesia:

  • Drug reactions
  • Respiratory problems
  • Hemorrhages
  • Infections

The risks of tubal ligation surgery are:

  • Failure to fully close the tubes and possible continuation of fertility.
  • The pregnancy rate after tubal ligation is 1 in 200 women.
  • Possibility of ectopic pregnancies
  • Damage that may be produced by the laparoscope in adjacent organs or structures

    Hello, sae, if you can do a ligation before having children, because I am a minor and my mother does not allow it and I do not have a safe boyfriend, if you could answer me, thank you

  6.   Sofia said

    Hello Lujan, being a minor and without the permission of your parents you cannot have this surgical intervention, remember that with this system you can only prevent pregnancies, but not diseases.
    Use other methods to take care of yourself and always use condoms, which is the only way to take care of yourself from HIV.

  14.   Analia said

    is there any treatment to strengthen fallopian troops after an infection which caused wasting and ectopic pregnancy

  15.   belen said

    Hello, 17 years ago I agreed to a tubal ligation, but I don't know what was the method the doctor used. form a new couple, and it is your wish to have a child. What I want to know is if they can be separated, if the answer is affirmative, where can I do it and what complications could appear. all this is far-fetched, and it's something I regret having agreed to. My doctor told me that there is no safe method, but if in 17 years I never got pregnant again, it seems to me that what they did to me is safe.

  16.   priscila said

    I answer whoever it is: I am 41 years old, I had 3 cesarean sections and with the last one I had my tubes tied (about a month and a half ago). I have not felt any kind of discomfort. I am not menstruating yet because I am breastfeeding, so I do not know if it will be different from my previous periods. I have an acquaintance of a similar age to me, who was linked like me (at the same time as the cesarean section and had bleeding for 60 days after surgery), I do not know how it went, but it seems that it depends on each organism.

  17.   Alejandra said

    7 years ago my doctor operated on me but he does not want to tell me what he did. I have talked to him and told him to operate to have a child again and he tells me
    «Gather your 20,000 thousand pesos and I will operate on you, you enter today and leave tomorrow.

    I'm about to have a tubal ligation and I need to know if it will lead to weight gain. and what will happen to my menstrual cycle?

    1.    eva (@sabateva) said

      Hello Andrea, I weigh 45 kilos and my tubes were tied a year ago, maybe it will be according to the organism, but do not tie it, it brings many complications, headache, menstruation comes early and also later you will regret how it happened to me and it is a sin if I knew not he let me flirt

  26.   marcela said

    I would like to know if after having your tubes tied it is more difficult to lose weight

  27.   anna said

    Hello, I will tell you about my experience, they linked me 6 months ago so far I have not had bad symptoms, my menstruation is still normal of the same intensity, as before I have not suffered from weight gain or headaches or anything of those things for me that after The surgery is rather the concern of what is going to happen now with our body, so if we feel a headache or other symptoms we attribute it to the ligation but I do not think it is because of that I would advise you to investigate before making that decision Everything you can on the subject and yes, you have to be very convinced that that is really what you want and do not let yourself be manipulated by anyone except by the husband that it is only your decision at the end of the day it is your body and Q will be poisoned or harmed, so think about it very well after all, there is also a vasectomy for men, it is fair to help a little.

    Hello, I am Alicia, I am 27 years old and I am waiting for my first Baby, but due to the complications that this pregnancy causes me, and more than anything because of economic problems with my husband, we decided that we want to have only one baby, my question is if at my age I can make me? And what would it be possible to have? We know that more than one family member would advise us that a son is very poor, that we think about it better, but we prefer to have one and give it everything possible to have several and not be able to do it. The truth is that I am sure of my decision.But I would like to learn more about the subject.Thank you very much.
