A member asked:

If you get your tubes tied how does that affect my period making it lighter?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No: The opposite may actually occur post tubal ligation. The periods my be heavier and/or with shortened intervals between periods due to an interruption of a blood vessel between the uterus and ovary under the Fallopian tube.
