Is it normal for your cervix to stay open after tubal ligation?

No. Tubal ligation involves blocking the fallopian tubes. If this procedure was done with Essure, your cervix may stay open for a little while, but should not stay open for long after the procedure.

Is modified pomeroy a type of bilateral tubal ligation?
Yes! The modified pomeroy is a method of tubal ligation. It can be done during minilaparotomy, which is a small open incision made on the abdomen.
After a tubal ligation is there a test that can be taken that can tell you whether or not it has failed?
Only by a abdominal scan and tests. I doubt if you could tell if a tubal ligation is still intact with an ultrasound. The only way I am aware you could tell for sure would be with a laparoscopy or a hyysterosalpingogram (a test where dye is injected into the uterus and tubes and then an X-Ray is taken). Unless you have gotten pregnant, why would you suspect the tubal ligation is no longer effective?
Can you have a healthy pregnancy if you have had a tubal ligation?
Allow me to answer from experience....YES IT CAN. The chance is very small, from what I've read in the 1-2% range, but I myself am a child of pregnancy after tubal ligation. My mother had her tubes tied TWICE. After my brother was born she had a tubal ligation. Six years later she found herself pregnant with me. Upon having her tubes cut and burned further, the doctor said he had no idea how that could happen as everything looked still separated. Of course, you have to take the chances into the proper context; HIGHLY UNLIKELY, but entirely possible.
If you had a tubal ligation what would be the best treatment to conceive again?
Getting Pregnant After 10 YearsIt's unlikely. A recent study (the Collaborative Review of Sterilization, or CREST, study) looked at 10,000 women who had undergone tubal ligation and found 143 failures (a failure rate of 1.4 percent). It can be higher when a tubal is done at the time of a C-section. The failure rate also tends to increase the longer it has been since one had a tubal ligation. The U.S. Collaborative Review of Sterilization (CREST) found the failure rate for tubal ligation (all occlusion methods) to be 1.85% after 10 years.Here's other comments from WikiAnswers contributors:Yes, it is very possible 1 in every 200 TL fail (This statistic has no documented source and should not be trusted.It is very possible. In fact, my friend last week found out she was pregnant after having a tubal ligation 11 years ago. The only thing was that it turned out to be a tubal pregnancy. The fetus was attached to the outside of her tube on her right side so she had to have her tube removed. The MD told her that her tubal failed and now she has to take some sort of birth control if she doesn't want to get pregnant. I strongly recommend to anyone who has had this procedure done and has any doubt if they are pregnant to go see their MD or get some medical advice as soon as possible. My friends tubal pregnancy ruptured and she had fever and heavy bleeding right away. This could be fatal, especially if you wait too long.My mom had her tubes tied (I guess that's the same as a tubal ligation). You can get pregnant from it, but most likely it's ectopic (tubal). Go to the doctor immediately. If you are having severe pain, bleeding, etc, go now. It will help you out ALOT. Take a pregnancy test first.Yes, it is possible. I had my tubal ligation in 1991 and became pregnant again in 2002.It is definitely possible. Actually, after 10 years, the failure rate for a tubal ligation increases slightly. My tubal ligation failed after only 4 years. I had my tubal ligation in June of 2000 and had another baby boy in October of 2004. Approximately 1/3 of all pregnancies that occur after a tubal ligation is an ectopic pregnancy though so it's important to see your doctor immediately if you think you're pregnant.I had my tubes tied and cauterized in Dec 2000, after 2nd C-section, I became pregnant in Dec 2004..4 years later. I found out baby made it to utero, but we miscarried shortly after. It was devastating for me, I really wanted another baby. I had a hsg test, tubal dye, and they found my right tube slightly open, but the left is still closed. Now I am depressed every month I get another period, hoping for another baby. I also decided to see if I can have it opened properly giving me every opportunity to have another child. In our province we have to pay for a reversal, so I am hoping they don't expect me to pay for this screw-up...I never asked for any of this, but now that it has happened it's ruining my life...I can't believe something that is "permanent" ... isn't.It's a rare occurrence to become pregnant after having a sterilization or tubal but it is possible. Not all sterilizations procedures are 100% effective and some have a 1-2% failure rate. Because of this it is possible to become pregnant but the chance is very very low.Yes - you can become pregnant. Nature always tries to overcome an obstacle to achieve its only aim - reproduction.After a tubal ligation, it has been found that some women "grow" another fallopian tube in which the egg can enter by.If you wish to get pregnant, then you should consult a doctor to see what the "state" of your tubes are. There are various ways of doing a tubal ligation - some that can be reversed easily. Even if you are found to not have viable fallopian tubes, you can still use IVF to conceive. You will still have your eggs and it is a matter of "harvesting" the eggs, fertilizing them outside the body and then implanting them.
Can you become pregnant after having a tubal ligation 3 years ago?
Anything is possible but there havent been many cases of this in the years they have done tubal ligation. Go back to that same doctor and have them test you and if you are pregnant, they owe you an explanation and some money....Good luck. Yes. My tubal ligation failed 6 weeks after the surgery. I had a hysterosalpingogram shortly thereafter that showed one tube 100% open. Regardless of whether you trust your physician, if you are in fact pregnant, ask for an immediate referral to another, impartial physician (don't stick with the original physician, which is what I did!). A reputable physician will understand, indeed, will be most concerned that you receiving optimal care. In my case, despite having a good prior relationship with my physician, this physician turned out to be both in denial and frankly dishonest once it became apparently that the surgery was probably, then definitely, a failure. I had a lot of trouble with my insurance company and in obtaining an accurate diagnosis as a result of this physician's behavior.
Does cervical cancer surgery affect tubal ligation's?
No. A tubal ligation severes the connection between the ovaries and the uterus. The ovaries float above the outside of the uterus and the fallopian tubes are the only opening into the top of the uterus. The cevix is the mouth of the uterus and is at the bottom of the uterus. The cervix is in the vagina and is not open to the area where the ovaries are.
Is modified pomeroy a type of bilateral tubal ligation?
Yes! The modified pomeroy is a method of tubal ligation. It can be done during minilaparotomy, which is a small open incision made on the abdomen.
I am 37 and I had a tubal ligation in 1992 and had a tubal reversal in 2006 and I have been taking clomid to try to get pregnant but no luck yet ... What do you suggest that I do?
Have you had an HSG to check to see if your tubes are open?
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.
Can the cervix close once open?
Once it has been dilated it will go back to it's normal size. The cervix is always open a little bit.
After a tubal ligation is there a test that can be taken that can tell you whether or not it has failed?

You are 11 weeks pregnant with slight cramping on your left side is it normal for the cervix to feel open?
As far as I know, if your cervix is open, a miscarriage is inevitable. I could be wrong, but that's the way it was explained to me. I've had one miscarriage in the past.

What are the main functions of the cervix?
During menstruation the cervix stretches open slightly to allow the endometrium to be shed.
What does it mean when your cervix is closed in the front but open in the back?
If your cervix is closed in the front but open in the back, this might mean you are about to start your period. It could also mean that you are ovulating.
If your cervix is open 1 cm what does that mean?
it all depends if you have had children before and how far along you are. i am currently 13 weeks pregnant and can fit one finger in my cervix which means i amm 1 cm dialated. i am on my fifth pregnancy and it is normal for my cervix to be like this as it never returns to its same shape after childbirth and will always be slightly open. just because your outer cervix feels open it does not mean you are open inside as your mucus plug seals it all up. i would keep an eye if it is your first pregnancy as some women suffer from incompetent cervix which causes the cervix to dialate too early. symptoms of this is increased pelvic pressure with or without period cramps or spotting. to ease your worries i can say that this is very rare and when it does happen it generally happens between 14 to 20 weeks. good luck to you
