Permanent Contraception
Tubal ligation is a safe and effective method of permanent contraception for women who have decided not to have more children. This procedure is performed with precision and care to ensure patient comfort and satisfaction.
How is Tubal Ligation performed?
Tubal ligation is a surgical procedure performed in a hospital or clinical setting under general or local anesthesia, depending on the patient’s medical evaluation and preference. The procedure involves blocking or sealing the fallopian tubes to prevent eggs from reaching the uterus for fertilization. Methods include clipping, tying, or cauterizing the tubes, with the entire procedure typically taking 30 to 60 minutes. Post-surgery, the patient receives appropriate care to ensure a smooth recovery.
Why is it important to undergo this procedure?
Tubal ligation is a highly effective solution for women seeking permanent contraception, offering peace of mind and eliminating the need for temporary birth control methods. It is ideal for those who have completed their families and are confident in their decision to not have more children. The procedure is minimally invasive, ensuring quick recovery and lasting results, while significantly reducing the risk of unintended pregnancy.
