Question 4

No: Periods should not change after tubal ligation. The reason some women report menstrual changes after tubal ligations may be a coincidence or because of discontinuation of other birth control methods, such as the pills, which tend to control the menstrual cycle well.

Two options: To achieve fertility after tubal ligation, there are 2 options: in vitro fertilization or tubal reversal surgery. Your doctor will provide you information on both options and which option may be best for you.

Question 10

why do women who did tubal ligation still experience their menses?

Accepted Answer

Because: The fallopian tubes when ligated do not allow the transport of the egg to get fertilized and implanted into the womb, and thus, the lining of the womb "menstruates" monthly since no implantation takes place.
