Tubal ligation

Alternate Names : Sterilization surgery - female, Tubal sterilization, Tube tying, Tying the tubes

After the Procedure

You will probably go home the same day you have the procedure. Some women may need to stay in the hospital overnight.

You will have some tenderness and pain. Your doctor will give you a prescription for pain medicine or tell you what over-the-counter pain medicine (medicine you can buy without a prescription) you can take.

Prognosis

Most women will have no problems. Tubal ligation is an effective form of birth control for women. You will NOT need to have any tests to make sure you can not get pregnant in the future.
