  2. What Is Tubal Ligation? • Often referred to “having your tubes tied,” tubal ligation is the procedure done to your fallopian tubes when a woman no longer wants a child. • One method of tubal ligation, also known as tubal implants, is when metal springs are placed inside the fallopian tubes. After time, scar tissue grows over the springs and closes up the fallopian tubes.

  3. How Popular is this Contraceptive Method? • Tubal ligation is the most common method of permanent sterilization. • Currently, about 700,000 of these procedures are performed each year in the United States. Half are performed after a woman gives birth.

  4. Is this contraceptive method effective? • During the first 3 months after the procedure, another birth control method must be used. • With tubal implantation, an x-ray must be taken and dye is placed in the uterus to ensure that the device is in place. • This is not 100% effective!

  5. What are the risks? • During the surgery, you may have a bad reaction to the medication or anesthesia used. • There is a slight possibility the woman could have problems with bleeding or infection. • About 1 in 20 woman become pregnant after this procedure! • If conception occurs, the woman is at risk for an ectopic pregnancy.

  6. How well does this method protect against STIs & STDs? • This method doesn’t protect you or your spouse against the possibility of an STI or STD. • Other methods of birth control may still need to be used to ensure that no sexually transmitted diseases are contracted.

  7. How much does this cost?
