If a woman has a tubal ligation how is it that she can still mensturate?

Answer 1

The Fallopian tubes are above the uterus. Hormonal changes make the uterus or womb lining change in anticipation of a fertilized egg. It sloughs or sheds off when this doesn't occur. When the tubes are cut and tied or burned, it prevents the egg from getting in contact with sperm. There is no interference with the estrogen producing ovaries. Ovulation is more complex, but the hormonal influences that create the blood rich uterine lining are intact. Thanks for your posting. I hope this helped some.

Answer 2

A tubal ligation ties closed and/or cuts apart the Fallopian tubes that let the egg travel from the ovaries to the uterus. However, the ovaries are often left in the body, because the hormones they produce are still good for a woman's health in general. The uterus is also left in. If the ovaries and uterus are still present, the bodily cycles that make menstruation happen will continue. A tubal ligation doesn't close up the uterus, and it doesn't stop the cycles of the uterine lining tissues which are what menstruation is about. The operation is supposed to prevent pregnancy by seeing to it that no egg can get to the uterus to be fertilized by the sperm.

Answer 3

Because all essential organs still produce hormones. Only the path to fertilization has be severed.

Answer 4

Menstruation is governed by hormones of ovary and pituitary glands.These are "endocrine"(ductless -glands) ie they secrete the hormones directly into blood and do not need the help of tubes

Answer 5

because that only blocks the egg from going to the cervix to be fertilized. Everything else is still working like its supposed to.
