Are there any side effects of tubal ligation in women?

Female tubal ligation is very familiar to most female friends who have already had their tubal ligation done. However, for those friends who don’t know much about this operation, it is more important to find out what female tubal ligation is and whether the operation has any side effects. Are there any side effects of tubal ligation in women? Please see the detailed introduction below.

Female sterilization is a procedure that involves ligating the fallopian tubes. Tubal ligation is a type of tubal sterilization. Sterilization is an artificial method to achieve permanent contraception for women of childbearing age. Currently, there are two methods: tubal ligation (surgical sterilization) and drug occlusion (drug sterilization). It is a permanent contraceptive method. Although this operation is not a major surgery and can be performed in an outpatient clinic, it is highly technical. If it is used properly and performed skillfully, it can be effective immediately. Otherwise, it will affect the health of the operator and hinder the implementation of family planning work. Tubal ligation (surgical sterilization) is a procedure that removes and ligates a portion of the fallopian tube to prevent the sperm and egg from meeting, thereby achieving the purpose of contraception.

Are there any side effects of tubal ligation in women? May cause symptoms of pelvic discomfort. There are two main reasons for pelvic discomfort symptoms after female sterilization: one is caused by pelvic adhesions, and the other is caused by the patient's mental factors.

1. The causes of pelvic adhesions are as follows:

1. The operation was rough and the fallopian tubes were clamped arbitrarily, causing extensive damage.

2. Improper disinfection can easily cause infection.

3. Pelvic inflammation exists before surgery.

4. Pelvic adhesion is also related to the surgical method. The proximal embedding method causes less damage to the fallopian tube mesentery, so adhesion is less likely to occur after surgery. The wave method and wave modification method damage the mesosalpinx and often lead to adhesion after surgery.

5. Simply pursuing surgical speed and small incision, mistakenly suturing the greater omentum and other tissues.

6. It is related to the timing of ligation.

We can take the following measures to prevent pelvic adhesions:

1. Strictly grasp the indications and conduct preoperative examinations carefully

2. The operation must be performed strictly in accordance with the operating procedures. The operation must be steady, accurate, and gentle, with clear levels.

3. It is best to use the proximal embedding method which causes less damage.

4. Drugs to prevent adhesion, such as antibiotics and corticosteroids, can be injected into the abdominal cavity before closing the abdomen.

2. Mental Factors

Some women have pelvic lesions after sterilization but are asymptomatic at other times, while others do not have pelvic lesions but have symptoms at other times. This suggests that there are mental factors involved in the symptoms of complications after sterilization. This may be related to the patient's excessive mental tension during the operation and certain social factors. Therefore, we should do a good job of ideological work before the operation, let the patient understand the operation, and eliminate tension and resistance. In this way, even if certain pelvic lesions occur after the operation, serious symptoms will not occur.

The above is an introduction to the question of whether tubal ligation has side effects in women. In fact, most people do not experience side effects after this surgery, but some people will experience side effects due to various reasons. The most common side effect is pelvic adhesion, which is mainly caused by improper surgical operation and the timing of the operation. Therefore, it is important to choose a good hospital and a good operation time when undergoing this type of surgery.
