Tubectomy
Tubectomy, also known as tubal ligation, is a surgical procedure used as a permanent method of female contraception. This procedure involves cutting, tying, or sealing the fallopian tubes to prevent eggs from traveling from the ovaries to the uterus, thereby preventing fertilization. Tubectomy is considered a highly effective form of birth control and is often chosen by women who are certain they do not want any more children.
Tubectomy does not affect a woman’s hormonal balance or menstrual cycle. It solely prevents the eggs from meeting sperm, thus serving as a reliable and permanent form of birth control. For many women, tubectomy provides peace of mind and the freedom from ongoing contraceptive use, contributing to an improved quality of life.
