Tubectomy, also known as female sterilization or tubal ligation, is a surgical procedure performed on women as a method of permanent contraception. It involves blocking, sealing, or cutting the fallopian tubes to prevent eggs from reaching the uterus and being fertilized by sperm.
Tubectomy is generally a safe procedure, but as with any surgical procedure, it carries certain risks, including infection, bleeding, damage to surrounding organs, or, in rare cases, failure of the procedure.
Tubectomy is considered a permanent form of birth control and is typically chosen by women who have decided not to have any more children or do not wish to have biological children. It is a highly effective method of contraception, but it does not protect against sexually transmitted infections (STIs).
It's essential for individuals considering tubectomy to discuss the procedure thoroughly with a healthcare provider, understand its permanence, and explore other contraceptive options before making a decision. Additionally, in some cases, tubal ligation can be reversible through tubal reanastomosis or tubal implant procedures, but these reversal procedures are not always successful and may not restore fertility.
