A member asked:

Will getting your tubes tied cause heavier periods?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No: A tubal ligation should not significantly affect your hormones or menstrual cycle. A lot of times cycles change because of age, or they will be different because you may no longer be using hormonal contraceptives like birth control pills.
