What is tubal ligation in women?

Many women do not want to have another baby after giving birth to a baby, so they will take various methods. Female tubal ligation is one of the methods, and of course it is also a scientific method. In addition, there are other methods that can prevent women from getting pregnant, but none of them is as good as female tubal ligation. Next, let us understand what female tubal ligation is? This will also provide more women with some methods and suggestions.

Female sterilization is a procedure that involves ligating the fallopian tubes. Tubal ligation is a type of tubal sterilization. Sterilization is an artificial method that enables women of childbearing age to achieve the purpose of permanent contraception. 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.

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. 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.

my country has been widely carrying out tubal ligation for 40 years. The commonly used methods in China include incision of the mesotubation and partial resection of the fallopian tube (including proximal and end embedding methods), double-fold fallopian tube ligation, fallopian tube compression ligation and fallopian tube fimbria resection. Tubal ligation surgical routes include abdominal, anterior and posterior vaginal fornix and groin. Abdominal surgery is currently the main method. With the improvement of surgical techniques and the updating of surgical instruments, the abdominal incision has been significantly reduced, the operation time has been significantly shortened, and the irritation of the instruments has also been reduced. Many regions have developed fallopian tube silver clips and titanium clips, which can also achieve the purpose of blocking the fallopian tube lumen.

Medical sterilization does not require surgery. It is a method of sterilization that involves injecting chemical drugs into the fallopian tube through the vagina and the uterine cavity to block the fallopian tube lumen. Since the drugs currently used are corrosive and the blocking technique requires high standards, improper use of the technique may cause serious reactions. If one wants to get pregnant again for some reason, there is almost no chance of restoration of the blockage, so this technique has not yet been promoted. The drugs used also need to be improved. Foreign countries have been exploring fallopian tube sterilization drugs for more than 100 years, but have not yet achieved satisfactory results. The compound phenol paste developed in my country has passed drug identification, but there are still certain problems that need further research and improvement.

There are many advantages to female tubal ligation, so it is a good choice for some women who do not want babies. Of course, some people also choose condoms. Although condoms can solve the problem in a short period of time, they cannot solve the problem for a long time. Therefore, considering all aspects, female tubal ligation is indeed the most correct choice and the best choice.
