A member asked:

How old do you have to be to get your tubes tied? and if your younger than the age, could a parent sign for you to get them tied?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

18: Outside of bilateral ectopic pregnancies, tubal ligation is an elective procedure. No rational gynecologist should agree to do a tubal ligation on a minor ( under 18 ) , even with parental consent. As long as there is. O threat to the patient's life.
