Tubal Ligation

Laparoscopic Bilateral Tubal ligation is a surgical procedure that creates permanent contraception, or sterilization. It is commonly referred to as having your “tubes tied” and permanently prevents pregnancy. The surgery removes your fallopian tubes, preventing sperm from meeting egg, effectively preventing pregnancy. Bilateral means the procedure is being done to both fallopian tubes. Laparoscopic surgery is a minimally invasive surgery technique that only uses a few small incisions in your lower abdomen.

Why do women get tubal ligations?

This procedure is done to permanently prevent pregnancy. Tubal ligation cannot be reversed. Because of this, it is important that you choose tubal ligation surgery only if you are sure you will not want to become pregnant in the future.

Individuals should discuss their reasons for wanting the procedure with their healthcare provider to ensure it’s the right choice for them. At CHOICES, you will meet with both a provider and a licensed social worker to review all available birth control options and confirm that a tubal ligation is the best option for you.

Women may choose to have a tubal ligation for various reasons, including:

  • Completion of family: Individuals who have achieved their desired family size and do not want any more children.
  • Prevention of unintended pregnancy: Tubal ligation provides a reliable and permanent form of birth control.
  • Health concerns: Some individuals may have health conditions that make pregnancy risky or impossible.
  • Genetic factors: Individuals who carry genetic mutations that increase the risk of certain cancers, such as ovarian cancer, may consider tubal ligation to reduce their risk.
  • Convenience: Tubal ligation is a one-time procedure that eliminates the need for ongoing birth control methods.
