How many types of female sterilization surgeries are there?

Female sterilization is actually a method of contraception, which can be performed as traditional tubal ligation or vaginal tubal ligation. After the operation, you must pay attention to proper care to avoid complications and infections.

1. Traditional tubal ligation: This is a surgical procedure that ligates the fallopian tubes. The incision is only two to three centimeters, and the fallopian tubes are tied and cut with surgical sutures. The advantage is that it is simple and effective, and can usually be performed under only partial anesthesia or even local anesthesia. There is no need for hospitalization after the operation and the cost is relatively low. The timing of the surgery is usually the day after a natural birth, because the uterus has not yet retracted after delivery and the fallopian tubes are located close to the sides of the navel. Therefore, the surgery can be performed in the depression of the navel skin, so that the postoperative wound is less obvious. Of course, ligation can also be performed at normal times, but at this time the position of the fallopian tube has returned to the pelvic cavity, and the ligation wound will be more obvious. As for ligation during caesarean section, it is also common in clinical practice. This type of surgery does not cause any increase in scars.

2. Vaginal tubal ligation : The advantage of this operation is that there will be no scars on the belly. The operation is performed under partial anesthesia and no hospitalization is required after the operation. However, the operation is difficult and has a high chance of bleeding, infection and complications. It is also not suitable for postpartum surgery, so few people use it.

3. Precautions for female fallopian tube ligation surgery:

There are two indications for tubal ligation. The first is that the woman must be married and have children, and both husband and wife voluntarily request sterilization. The second is that women with severe heart disease, heart failure, chronic liver and kidney disease with poor liver and kidney function, and certain hereditary diseases who are not suitable for pregnancy can also undergo this operation to achieve the effect of infertility.

Its contraindications are as follows: first, it cannot be performed if there is abdominal skin infection or genital infection; second, the patient is very weak and cannot tolerate the operation, such as postpartum hemorrhage, shock, heart failure, etc.; third, it cannot be performed if the continuous body temperature is above 37.5 degrees twice within 24 hours; fourth, it should not be performed during pregnancy; fifth, the operation should be postponed if there are patients with severe mental illness.

It is recommended not to eat hot peppers, including seafood, raw garlic, raw onions, etc. Pay attention to the condition of the wound. If there are signs of aggravation and infection, it is recommended to use some anti-infection drugs to prevent it.
