A member asked:
Do doctors think it's healthier to stay on birth control pills for 15 years or get a tubal ligation?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Tubal ligation: Tubal ligation is preferred as there are no undesirable long term effects like you can have with birth control pills like blood clots, weight gain and others.
