A member asked:
I am a 39 year old woman, how much of a risk is it to get my tubes untied?

Reversal risks: In experienced hands, you should feel comfortable getting this procedure done at your age. The risks are there as with any other surgery, including bleeding, infection, and complications associated with anesthesia.

Usually very low: If you are a healthy 39 year old a tubal reversal is extremely low risk surgery. If you have medical problems such as high blood pressure, heart disease, or you've had significant pelvic surgery before, then the reversal surgery could be a bit riskier. An important risk of tubal reversal surgery is that it may not be possible to repair one or even either tube.
