What is tubl ligtionfemale sterilization?

Tubal ligation is a surgical procedure that permanently prevents pregnancy by blocking or cutting the fallopian tubes. It is a form of permanent birth control that is 99% effective in preventing pregnancy.

The procedure is performed by making a small incision in the abdomen or through the vagina and then cutting or tying off the fallopian tubes. The fallopian tubes are the tubes that carry eggs from the ovaries to the uterus. By blocking the fallopian tubes, the eggs cannot reach the uterus and fertilization cannot occur.

Tubal ligation is a safe and effective procedure, but it is a major surgery and there are some risks involved, including:

* Infection

* Bleeding

* Blood clots

* Damage to surrounding organs

* Anesthesia risks

Tubal ligation is a permanent form of birth control, so it is important to make sure that you are 100% sure that you do not want to have any more children before undergoing the procedure.

There are other methods of permanent birth control available, including vasectomy (a surgical procedure that blocks the vas deferens, the tubes that carry sperm from the testicles to the penis) and Essure (a non-surgical procedure that inserts a small device into the fallopian tubes to block them). Talk to your doctor about which method of permanent birth control is right for you.
