What Is Tubal ligation?

• Tubal ligation is a commonly used female sterilization method that permanently prevents pregnancy.
• It is a surgical operation where the fallopian tubes are tied, cut, or blocked so that the eggs and sperm cannot meet.
• After this procedure, you no longer need any birth control. Nor does it affect your menstrual cycle.

Who is a good candidate for tubal ligation?

• If you are sure that you do not want to get pregnant in the future, you are a suitable candidate for tubal ligation.
• It may also be an option if pregnancy might put your health at risk.
• This surgery is not suitable for you if you are unsure about having children in the future; as it is a permanent birth control method.
