My sister is planning to tie her tubes. She has this plan for a couple of months now and it seems to me that no one can't tell her not to do that. She made her own decision and what worries me the most is that she believes that this has no side - effects. I don't think so since I was reading a lot about this lately.
I want to tell her to consult more with some doctors, not just to make her decision without consulting no one.
Can you tell me what are the side effects of tubal ligation?
Hi Guest,
Side effects is not what your sister should be worried about. The only side effect that she might have is a headache and that's basically it. The thing that your sister should be worried about is that once she does tubal ligation, there is no turning back. She won't be able to conceive after this and even if she decides to do tubal ligation reversal (if some day she wants to have another child), her chances for conceiving are only going to be 25%. She will have to think about it once she talks to her doctor, don't worry about that.
Hey guys,
You are not completely right about the chances of conceiving after tubal ligation reversal, Chocolate Bar. The chances to conceive in the first year after doing tubal ligation are somewhere like 65%, which isn't that bad.
Your sister shouldn't have any side effects, it is a more or less easy surgery and she should be able to go home just a few hours after the surgery has been done. She might have a headache and that's it, if she decides to have an intercourse soon after the surgery, she might feel a tingling sensation and that's about it I think.
Good day everyone. There are different ways to do a tubal ligation. It depends on your doctor what he is going to tell you to do and how. I have done it and thanks God I didn't have any side - effects caused by this procedure. But that girl who was sharing a hospital room with me had some side - effects. Actually, she kept telling me that she had nothing but problems. She told me that her period was late, it was different than before and that she had some spots between her period. Also, her ovulation was really painful that she couldn't move. She got fat as well and whatever she did, she was not able to lose her pounds. Anyway, my point is that you need to think very good about this procedure and to consult your doctor about every single effect that this can cause. Good luck.
Generally, ladies who had this procedure are going to feel some changes. So, those changes that include heavier periods or maybe pain when the ovulation days come, I would not call that side - effects. Every other woman has that and that is nothing weird, it is just a simple effect that you can expect after the procedure of tubal ligation.
My good friend did it as well three years ago after she gave a birth, and she told me that she is not sorry about this. She felt this pain when she has periods but that was all.
God, it seems to me that your hubby doesn't know how to keep his tool in the pants if you know what I mean. If you don't want to have kids anymore and if you are scared of tubal ligation, there is one thing that also helps - contraception!
Don't tell me now that you don't know what to do. People are shocking me really very often.
I know a story about a girl who never had any problems. Sure, for first three or four months her periods were heavier, but like somebody already told - it is normal.
Anyway, no side - effects, pain or something else that is negative for her.
55 - 78 percent!
As you can see, those numbers vary from case to case. But she has to speak to her doctor about every possible thing that can happen. As you already know, side - effects are not that huge problem. Generally, I don't see that headaches are the side - effects of this.
The power of tubal reversal is derived from the fact that each month you have a chance to get pregnant. Even a small chance each month added up over many months can grow to be a larger chance over time, which is really good.
I think that this is a good option for every lady.
