Most women recover fully in a week. You can have sex as soon as you are comfortable. The scars are very small. Many women say they cannot be seen at all. You will continue to have your periods as before.
Most women report no change in their periods.
If you notice changes, it is not necessarily because of the operation. Menstruation may change with age and childbearing. Your periods may become different even if you do not have a tubal. You may not remember your periods accurately. Some women report a slight increase in cramping with their periods after they have had a tubal.
