Tubal Clipping
Tubal clipping, also known as tubal ligation or tubal sterilization, is a surgical procedure used as a form of permanent contraception for women. During this procedure, the fallopian tubes are blocked or sealed to prevent eggs from reaching the uterus, effectively preventing pregnancy. Tubal clipping is considered a highly effective method of birth control and is often chosen by women who have completed their families or do not wish to have children in the future.
The procedure is typically performed under general anesthesia and involves small incisions in the abdomen through which the fallopian tubes are accessed. A small clip or ring is placed around each tube, blocking the passage of eggs. Tubal clipping is a relatively quick procedure with minimal recovery time, allowing women to resume their normal activities shortly after surgery. While tubal clipping is considered a permanent form of contraception, it does not affect hormone levels or menstrual cycles, and most women experience no changes in their overall health following the procedure.
