Fallopian tube ligation is considered a definitive method of preventing pregnancy
Doctor, my wife has had surgery to prevent her from having more children. Is there any chance she can get pregnant?
This surgery that his wife underwent, called tubal ligation or tubal ligation, is considered a definitive method of preventing pregnancy, as is vasectomy, in the case of men.
What happens in tubal ligation? The doctor cuts the fallopian tubes, or uterine tubes, at each end of these tubes and stitches them together, which means they completely cut off the possible passage of sperm.
In medicine it is often said that you never get to 100%. Always and never are very relative concepts. The chances of pregnancy occurring after a ligation exist, but they are very remote, the risk is around 0.5%, but in the end the tubes can reunite. This is very rare, very unlikely, but the risk is remote, so it is very important that you discuss this method, which is considered definitive, with your gynecologist.
