Frequently Asked Questions

Tubectomy does not usually affect hormone levels, and it should not cause any changes in periods. Tubectomy is a surgical procedure that is designed to prevent pregnancy, and it does not interfere with the body’s production of hormones. Therefore, it will not have any effect on hormones or the menstrual cycle. However, some women may experience slight changes in menstrual bleeding patterns following the procedure.

The best time for a tubectomy is typically when you have completed your family planning goals and no longer wish to become pregnant. The procedure can be done at any time during your menstrual period. However, it is usually recommended to do it between the 7th-10th day of the Menstrual Cycle to make sure the woman is not pregnant already.

Tubal ligation (getting your tubes tied) right after giving birth can be a reasonable option for some women, depending on their circumstances and preferences. However, it is a decision that should be carefully considered with the guidance of a healthcare provider. One potential benefit of having a tubal ligation right after giving birth is that it can be a convenient option, as the procedure can be done at the same time as a C-section or vaginal delivery. This can eliminate the need for a separate procedure later on, which may be appealing to some women. Additionally, for women who are sure they do not want any more children, tubal ligation can be an effective form of permanent birth control. Having the procedure done soon after giving birth can provide peace of mind and eliminate the need to worry about contraception in the future. It is ideally advised to wait for 3-4 years to ensure the physical and mental development of child is normal as not all issues can be diagnosed at birth.

After a tubectomy, most women can resume normal activities within a few days. There is a need to avoid heavy lifting and strenuous exercise for several weeks following your surgery to avoid complications. Some women can experience mild pain or discomfort during this time, but most of this can be managed with over-the-counter pain medication.

During a tubectomy (also known as tubal ligation or "getting your tubes tied", the fallopian tubes are not tied up. Instead, the surgeon will cut, seal, or block the fallopian tubes to prevent the egg from traveling from the ovaries to the uterus, effectively preventing pregnancy. The specific method used to block the fallopian tubes can vary. For example, the surgeon may cut a small section of each fallopian tube and then seal the ends with clips, rings, or sutures. Alternatively, the surgeon may use a device to block the tubes with small implants or coils. Regardless of the method used, the goal is the same: to create a permanent barrier that prevents sperm from reaching the egg and fertilizing it. Once the fallopian tubes are blocked, the egg will be unable to travel to the uterus, and pregnancy will be very unlikely to occur​​​​​​.

Tubectomy may be an appropriate option for women who have completed their family or do not want children in the future. It is a form of permanent contraception that involves surgically blocking a woman’s fallopian tubes, which prevents the egg from traveling to the uterus. It is a permanent form of birth control. This makes it suitable for women who have already completed their family or are certain that they do not want to have any more children. It is also an ideal option for women who cannot use hormonal or barrier contraception due to medical reasons or personal preferences.

Tubectomy is a highly effective form of permanent contraception that does not require ongoing use of contraception. It also does not affect the woman's hormonal balance or menstrual cycle, unlike other forms of contraception such as hormonal pills or IUDs.

As with any surgery, tubectomy carries some risks, such as infection, bleeding, or damage to surrounding organs. In addition, there is a risk of scar tissue formation or adhesions that can cause chronic pelvic pain. There is also a small risk of ectopic pregnancy after a tubectomy, where the fertilized egg implants outside of the uterus.

Some of the most common pediatric surgeries cater to - swelling and lesions on the body, ear deformities, abnormal mass or swelling in the body, chest wall abnormalities, lung lesions, diaphragm defects, bowel atresia, lesions in the stomach, intestine, pancreatic lesions, liver lesions, kidney lesions, VUR, PUJO, VUJO, bladder lesions, hypospadias, epispadias, penile lesions, limb abnormalities, ano rectal malformations, teratomas, hepatoblastoma, neuroblastoma, Wilm's tumor, vascular malformations, hernia malformations, hernia r repair, appendectomy, circumcision, and correction of congenital abnormalities such as cleft lip and palate. These surgeries can relieve pain, infections, and breathing problems. Additionally, they can correct physical deformities that can affect a child's appearance and social development.

The parent can help prepare their child for surgery by explaining the procedure in age-appropriate terms, reassuring them that they will be safe and cared for, and ensuring that they understand what to expect before and after the surgery. Doing so helps reduce anxiety and fear that the child may experience, while also making them more cooperative and less likely to resist the medical staff. This can make the procedure smoother and safer for both the child and the medical team.
