Question 2

what are signs that my tubal clamps have come undone?

No clamps: If you are referring to a tubal ligation, no clamps are left inside of the pelvis. The Fallopian tubes are first clamped, then cut and cauterized. I am not sure why you think clamps were left inside of you?

Pain and bleeding: Most common symptom is abdominal/pelvic pain and vaginal bleeding.

If you are worried at all, i recommend you seek medical attention right away.  Urgent care or soonest available appointment with a physician.

Question 4

Question 5

what to expect after a tubal reversal?

Accepted Answer

Unpredicable: Waiting game. Basically the best chance of getting pregnant is relatively soon after the procedure. If pregnant need to make sure there is no ectopic pregnancy. So the first 6 months are the most important.

Question 6

want to reverse my tubal after 10 yrs?

Question 7

how old you have to be to get a tubal ?

Accepted Answer

21: In california, certain insurances won't cover a tl until you're 21. Other insurances will cover it after 18 years of age. Like anyone else, patient has to know options, irreversible surgery, & alternatives before proceeding. Some docs however won't do it if they don't agree with the patient's choices.

Question 8

can a home health aide give tubal feedings?

Accepted Answer

Home health : The permissible scope of tasks for home health aides varies by state.  Please check with your local jurisdiction or home health agency.  
In many states, the aide may set up and flush the tube, but not actually administer the feeding itself, which typically must be done by a nurse or trained family member. There may be exceptions.

Question 9

what are the risk factors after tubal reversal?

Accepted Answer

Several: First of all if successful it opens your tubes. But that does not mean the tubes will work. Your chance of having a baby really depends on age, hormones, sperm uterus etc. The risk of ectopic pregnancy is extremely high. The risk that the tubes closes up again is also very high, .

Question 10

who does tubal reversals in the kansas city area?

Accepted Answer

Go to SART: Go to www.Sart.Org and look for providers in your area.  If you are 49 yo the chances for success are exceedingly low, and would not recommend it. However if you must do it,  do testing to check your ovarian reserve and make sure its normal before you do the operation, otherwise an even  higher failure rate. Egg donation may be the better choice and will not need surgery for that.
