Question 1

how would you know if your tubes had become untied?

Accepted Answer

X Ray: You can have an X-ray performed (hsg - hysterosalpingogram) to confirm if the tubes are still blocked. Unfortunately some women also find out when they become pregnant unexpectedly.

Question 2

how will you know if your tubes came untied and i want my tubes to be untied?

Accepted Answer

Tubes . .: Technically speaking, you would not know, because the only symptom that your tubes had 'untied' would be if you got pregnant. The reason that tubes are tied in the first place is to prevent all future pregnancies, so very RARELY do they just 'untie' on their own, because the way it is done is very thorough. You would need to see your Ob/GYNE for further evaluation. Best of luck.

Question 3

i just had my tubes tied three years ago? how would you know if your tubes come untied?

Accepted Answer

Unintended pregnancy: Rationale for tying tubes (bilateral tubal ligation) is desired infertility aka permanent contraception. Depending upon research/study, tubes become untied approximately 2-10/1000 women (http://sogc.org/publications/tubal-ligation-female-surgical-sterilization/). You could ask for hysterosalpingogram to prove continued ligation (more commonly performed during infertility evaluation). Or get preggo

Question 4

how do you know if your tubes are blocked?

Accepted Answer

Imaging: To formaly diagnose blockages of the fallopian tubes, usually an imaging study known as a hysterosalpingogram is completed. This requires a special dye to be injected into uterus and tubes through the cervix while under x-ray imaging.  There are other techniques but this is one of the most common.  Best of luck.

Question 5

how do you know if your tubes are still band?

Accepted Answer

Hysterosalpingogram: the tubes could be visualized with an ultrasound or a hysterosalpingogram.  Contrast dye is flushed into your cervix and this lines the uterus and tubes then an X-ray is taken.

Question 6

how difficult is it to get your tubes untied?

Accepted Answer

A dying art: Tubal reanastomosis is a dying art.  The lab procedures of ivf have improved so much that a tubal reanastomosis is not often performed.  Check with an rei on the options.

Question 7

is it possible to safely get your tubes untied?

Accepted Answer

Yes, not untied...: A big misconception with patients is that tubes are simply "untied". The procedure actually cuts out the scarred or blocked portion, the remaining edges are microsurgically connected & a good success rate is only > 70%. You need at least 3 cm of viable tube to work with and remember, any future pregnancies have to be seen early d/t ectopic risks (tubal pregnancies). Take good care of yourself.

Question 8

can your tubes untie after a hysterectomy?

Accepted Answer

No.: When the tubes are "tied" they are blocked or disconnected surgically. During a hysterectomy, the tube is either removed or disconnected from the uterus - not untied.

Question 9

can your tubes come untied after 10 years?

Accepted Answer

Unlikely: Almost inpossible, hiowever possible if absorbable suture was used ; lumen had not been completely occluded or lining remained intact.Even more unlikely if suture cut through the tube ; somehow two ends reconnected and opened up.

Question 10

can your tubes come untied after 14 years?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Fallopian tube ligations can and do fail after several years as the tube sometimes re-canalizes and goes around the obstruction/tie.
