I want to tie my tubes my doctor said an iud is better, i dont want to be on birth control anymore, im 38 is tying my tubes ok for me?

Yes, but...: An IUD is generally safe but most importantly, it is temporary. Having your tubes tied, which involves surgery, is essentially permanent. Gynecologists are typically reluctant to advise permanent options unless there is a health risk associated with future pregnancies.
