Inside your abdomen, two fallopian tubes connect each of your ovaries to your uterus. In the minilaparatomy type of tubal ligation, the doctor closes the tubes through a small incision in the abdomen. They may be tied, cut, burned, or clipped. Be certain you don't want any more children before you get a tubal ligation. Even though the operation can be reversed, there is no guarantee that you will be able to get pregnant again afterwards.
Tubal ligation has no effect other than sterilization.
You will continue to have monthly periods, and your sex drive will be unchanged. There are always risks with surgery. You may bleed more than usual, develop an infection, have trouble breathing, or get blood clots. However, the doctor is prepared to deal with such problems. You may encounter the following procedures and equipment during your stay.
