Vasectomy is safer and less expensive than tubal ligation (sterilization of a female by cutting the fallopian tube to prevent conception).

Is a tubal ligation more risky at age 25?

It is risky at any age. It is most recommended by doctors that the man get a vasectomy rather than the woman get a tubal ligation. The recovery time is less for men and it is less risky since there are fewer tubes and less chance of complications.

This would be almost impossible. Although occasionaly tubal ligation can fail as in a vasectomy for men the risk is less than one percent. If the whole of your uterus has been removed then no you cannot be pregnant as there is nowhere for the fertilised egg to grow.


What is the effect of the tubal ligation?

Infertility is the desired effect of tubal ligation. Unfortunately for some women it comes with side effects that most doctors seldom mention; Post Tubal Ligation Syndrome. Because it is a complicated condition I am going to supply links that give you more information than I can supply.

Is it possible to get pregnant 15 years after tubal ligation?

Although natural pregnancy could occur it is very slim. If it does happen naturally there is a very good chance that it would be ectopic. The most natural way to have a child after having a tubal ligation is with tubal ligation reversal. Surprising to many is the fact the tubal reversal has a better pregnancy rate than the alternative treatment of IVF. Not only does tubal ligation reversal have a better success rate it is more natural and less expensive than the alternative.


What is the chances of you getting pregnant after your tubes were clamped 7 year's ago?

Women have less than a 2% chance of becoming pregnant naturally after having a tubal ligation. If you feel that you may be pregnant after a tubal ligation you should see a Dr as soon as possible to rule out an ectopic pregnancy. Women who have had a tubal ligation are at a high risk for ectopic pregnancy which can be life threatening.

Can a person become pregnant with twins after tubal ligation?

Pregnancy after tubal ligation is very rare. Tubal ligation has less than a 2% failure rate and even if you do get pregnant without reversal surgery you are more likely to have an ectopic pregnancy. Ectopic pregnancy is very dangerous and you should see a Dr immediately if you feel that you may be pregnant.


Can you use invitro fertilization after a tubaligation?

Yes, you can have IVF to get pregnant after tubal ligation. However, anyone contemplating tubal ligation must consider the process to be permanent. If you are not ready to commit to a life without additional pregnancies, consider long-acting reversible forms of contraception, such as intrauterine devices (IUDs) or the contraceptive implant (such as Nexplanon). These are more effective than tubal ligation, and are completely reversible.

Could tubes have grown back together on their own after a tubal ligation?

No, you can't help your tubes grow back together after a tubal ligation. You need to have tubal reversal surgery. This can cost anywhere from $4500 to over ten thousand dollars. I had reversal surgery and it was a breeze. Not only are my tubes open now, I feel so much better than I did when I had the ligation. There are some freak incidences where tubes have grown back together, but it isn't common.


Is it possible to give birth while your tubes are tied?

I'm not sure whether you mean "give birth" or "become pregnant" Giving birth after Tubal Ligation should be normal and no different than if you hadn't had the procedure. A small number of women (about 1 in 100) become pregnant after Tubal Ligation.
