Tubal Ligation in Karnataka

Can tubal ligation be reversed?

Reversal surgery is possible in some cases but is not always successful and is not guaranteed, so this procedure should be considered permanent when deciding to go ahead.

Does tubal ligation affect periods or hormones?

No, it doesn't affect the ovaries or hormone production, so periods and hormonal cycles generally continue as before.

How effective is it at preventing pregnancy?

Tubal ligation is highly effective, among the most reliable forms of contraception, though a very small failure risk remains.

When can this be done after childbirth?

It's often done within a day or two after vaginal delivery, or at the same time as a planned cesarean section, avoiding a separate procedure later.

What are the risks?

As with any surgery, there are small risks of bleeding, infection, and anesthesia complications, and a small risk of ectopic pregnancy if the procedure ever fails.
