clips
It is possible for the clips used in a tubal ligation to come undone or loose. It can happen for various reasons, but it is a fairly rare occurrence.
A tubal ligation is a sterilization procedure. There are a number of differing methods; Pomeroy Tubal and resection, tubal with fallopian ring, a tubal with hulka clip, a bipolar tubal coagulation, a Parkland and an Irving tubal.
I am sure there are plenty of different kinds. I am a medical transcriptionist and the most common clips used at my hospital are Filshie clips. Hope that helps you!
I don't think so.
Because tubal ligations using Hulka clips are reversible, there is a small chance of becoming pregnant. Talk to your doctor about your symptoms as soon as possible.
Funny you should ask because I am asking the same. I am being sent to a general surgeon to have it removed. It is the cause of pain I have had for years.
I have been doing a lot of research on line, and it appears that there are many factors that can effect your tubal ligation. for instance, the younger you are when you get your tubes tied, the more chance you have of them "healing" and becoming pregnant again, which can often happen up to and over 10 years after the tubal. also different tubal methods have different failure rates, but NONE OF THEM ARE 100% infact some sites state as many as 1 in 200 women can fall pregnant after a tubal ligation. thats ALOT! When you sign your papers for your tubal, it actually states that it isnt 100% I had my tubal done 5 years ago, and I am currently feeling very odd.
Tubal ligation is a permanent fix. It cuts, ties and burns the tubes whereas making it almost impossible for the egg to pass through for fertilization. There is only a 0.5 percent chance I believe that you could then get pregnant. This is not birth control, its a permanent solution to no longer have more children.
i got my tubes done and want to know if they are rubber or metal
No. It is very hard to reverse this procedure once it is done.
well im in the same boat i had a tubal ligation with clips and apperantly might be pregnant there is a 5percent chance if you had it done with c-section that you can get pregnant the like;y hood that its in the uterous is 1 percent chance you can always get pregnant with it however the clips prevent the egg and sperm to continue to the uterus
