FEMALE STERILISATION (TUBAL LIGATION): QUESTIONS PEOPLE ASK ABOUT IT
posted by admin in Women's HealthQ. Does my partner have to give consent or sign anything if I want to have a tubal ligation?
A. No, you don’t need your partner’s consent Of course it is good to talk over such a big decision together and it is best if you agree, but in the end it is your body and your decision.
Q. Even though I know the chance is very small, I’ve heard that you might still get pregnant after you’ve had a tubal ligation. How can that happen?
A. It is possible for the tubes to somehow join up again or at least get close enough so that an egg and sperm can meet even many years after the operation. Sometimes, if this happens, the pregnancy grows in one of the Fallopian tubes
Q. Will the tubal ligation affect the way I feel about sex?
A. No. Other than being relieved that you are free from the risk of pregnancy, you should not notice any other changes to the way you feel about sex. Tubal ligation has no physical effect on your body other than to block the egg from meeting a sperm and being fertilised.
Q. I have heard that tubal ligation is reversible—that you can have an operation to join the tubes and you can get pregnant again. Is this true?
A. It is true that most people, though not everyone, can have an operation to rejoin the tubes, but even after this many people still don’t become pregnant. We don’t really know why. The scar tissue could make it difficult for eggs and sperm to get past There are several ideas about it but the main thing is that there is no guarantee that a reversal of a tubal ligation will work. Some women these days are having IVF rather than having surgery done to unblock the tubes, but again the success rate is not all that high.
You should see the decision to have a tubal ligation as a final one. So if you have any doubts about having this procedure, it is best to wait and use another method of contraception until you feel sure it is what you want. And if your life changes later on in ways you had not thought of, and you regret having the tubal ligation, you will at least know that you had considered everything carefully and felt it really was the best decision at the time.
