Handling Family Planning
tubal igation
getting the tubes tied
Tubal ligation, commonly called ‘getting the tubes tied’ is a type of permanent birth control for women in which a women gets her tube tied permanently after completing her family (as in the number of children the couple wants). This procedure involves blocking, cutting, or sealing the fallopian tubes to prevent eggs from meeting the sperm.
As the eggs in the female body travel from the ovaries to the uterus via the tubes (fallopian tubes) where fertilization by sperm can occur.
Tubal ligation is performed as a laparoscopic or keyhole surgery, where small incisions are made in the abdomen to access the fallopian tubes and tie them.
What to Expect After Tubal Ligation
- Post-Surgical Discomfort: You can experience mild pain, cramping, or discomfort at the site of the incision for a few days after surgery. Proper care and medicines will be provided to you to make the healing faster and comfortable.
- Bloating or Shoulder Pain: This can occur due to the gas that is used to inflate the abdomen during laparoscopic surgery. It’s just temporary.
- Fatigue: Feeling tired or weak after the surgery is also common and it will last until the recovery.
- Changes in Menstrual Cycle: Some women may experience changes in their menstrual cycle, but this is due to natural hormonal fluctuations and not due to the procedure.
- It's important to monitor for any signs of infection, such as fever, excessive pain or discharge at the incision site, and contact your gynecologist surgeon if any of these symptoms occur.

Is there Any Impact of Tubal Ligation on Women's Health
- Tubal ligation is a highly effective form of permanent contraception. For women who no longer wish to have children, it can bring peace of mind. Since the procedure does not affect hormone levels or the menstrual cycle, there is no significant long-term impact on a woman’s overall hormonal health.
- The procedure is permanent that means reversal is difficult and not always successful. So If you change your mind in future and want to have children then the surgery may or may not be successful. So making up your mind is highly recommended before getting your tubes tied.
- Psychologically, tubal ligation can offer relief from concerns about unintended pregnancies and is good for the mental health of the couple as well.
Alternate Treatments to Tubal Ligation
- For women seeking long-term or permanent contraception but are hesitant about tubal ligation, there are several alternatives:
- Intrauterine Device (IUD): A long-term but reversible option, an IUD can remain effective for 5 to 10 years depending on the type. It is one of the most effective contraceptive methods with less than 1% failure rate.
- Hormonal Birth Control: Options like the birth control pill, patch, or injectable contraceptives offer reliable pregnancy prevention, though they require regular use and are not permanent.
- Vasectomy for Male Partners: A vasectomy is a permanent form of contraception for men. So couples may choose this option as an alternative to tubal ligation.
- Implants: Hormonal implants placed under the skin offer long-term contraception (up to 5 years) and can be removed if a woman decides she wants to get pregnant later.
- Choosing the right method of contraception depends on personal circumstances and future family planning goals. Women considering tubal ligation should discuss all available options with the best gynecologist in Noida, Dr Puja Dewan, Book an appointment with her

Frequently Asked Questions
While reversal is technically possible, it is not always successful, which is why the procedure is considered permanent. Women who are unsure about future pregnancies should consider other temporary forms of birth control like condoms, pills and IUDs etc.

I was referred to Dr. Puja Jain Dewan after developing high blood pressure in the early stages of my pregnancy. She immediately put me on a closely monitored plan that included regular check-ups, medication adjustments, and dietary changes. Her proactive approach helped me avoid any severe complications. When I experienced issues towards the end of my pregnancy, Dr. Puja was there every step of the way, ensuring both my baby and I were safe. I successfully delivered a healthy baby girl, and I am forever grateful for the extraordinary care Dr Puja provided.
I was going through a pre-menopausal phase where I was having trouble managing my symptoms of hot flashes, irritability and mood swings. I am so glad that I visited Dr Puja for that. She listened to me patiently, made me feel comfortable and assured me that everything is going to be alright. She then suggested some lifestyle changes, dietary changes and prescribed some meds. I didn't know that all these things will make such a huge difference. I finally feel like myself again! Thank you Dr Puja You are an amazing doctor and a good human being.
As I was experiencing various annoying symptoms, My friend recommended Dr Puja So I visited her clinic. I was quite sceptical as I had never visited a gynac before. But the experience was great, she understood my concerns and diagnosed PCOS. She also reassured me that some lifestyle changes and meds will have it managed. I followed her advice religiously and I am perfectly fine again. All those annoying symptoms, mood swings and acne are now gone. Such gynaecologists are rare these days. She is now going to be my gyne for life! Thank You so much Ma'am
