1. Can artificial insemination be performed after tubal ligation?

Female sterilization is a method of achieving sterilization through tubal ligation. 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. It is the main measure to control the population growth rate. It is particularly important in our country. Every year, about tens of millions of women of childbearing age undergo this operation, especially in rural areas. It is still a commonly used sterilization measure. If the patient is unwilling to undergo fallopian tube recanalization surgery but still wants to have a child, she can use in vitro fertilization assisted reproductive technology, which mainly targets various fallopian tube infertility phenomena.

2. What is female sterilization?

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, female sterilization can take effect 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. It has a history of more than 100 years, and there are more than 100 methods of sterilization. As early as 1833, some people believed that hysterectomy and ovarian castration were the fundamental methods of female sterilization. Later, many scholars gradually studied it. After continuous practice and summary, most sterilization methods were eliminated, and now there are only about 10 methods left.
