I was searching information about women who get their tubes tied (out of curiousity) and while reading the info I was stumped on why women still get their period of the egg never reaches the ovaries to become a unused egg??

when a woman has her tubes ties (tubal litigation) it is a mechanical blocking or road block which stops an egg from traveling down the tube and stops sperm from traveling up so the two shall never meet and get the chance to fertilize and possibly implant and cause pregnancy...
All the chemical reactions and other bodily functions needed for the uterus to prepare for a possible pregnancy (grow blood rish tissue etc. for the possible emplantation of a fertilized egg) are intact... When a woman has her period (menstrates) it is the body sluffing off this blood rich tissue when implantation (pregnancy) hasn't occurred...
When an egg is ovulated into the fallopian tube of a woman who's has had tubal litigation (tied tubes) the egg is carried up until the point of the road block and goes no further after a while the egg becomes unviable (dies) and the body reabsorbs the cell and sluffs it off as waste (feces, urine) the same occurs to any sperm that might be introduced, it is sluffed in either urine, or feces or with menstration (the period)...
To fully understand tubal litigation imagine a garden hose turn the hose on and water flows through the hose... Now cut, tie or other wise completely block the center of the hose so nothing can get through.. (that's tubal litigation) the hose leading to the faucet is stilll a hose if you turn on the water it will flow until the blokage where the water stops just like the egg.. ..the hose past the blockage is still a hose and would work like a hose if the water could get to it but due to the blockage it cant. The uterus is still a uterus and functions like a uterus building up and sluffing off blood rich tissue every month so it is prepared for implantation of a fertilized egg if one is introducted... But due to the blockage (tubal litigation) one will never show up...

Eggs are generated in the ovary. During the periods, matured egg is released from the ovary and It travels through the 'fallopian ' tube and reaches the uterus.
Tube is tied to avoid pregnancy. This is nothing to do with the eggs being released from ovaries. This just block the way of sperm to egg and avoids pregnancy.
so even if you tie the tube, eggs are released from the ovaries and disintegrates there itself. This is a phenomena controlled by Hormones secretion stimulated by the brain.
Periods are happening because of harmones and not because of the eggs whether it is reaching the uterus or not.

Womens' bodies are geared to create. When a woman's tubes are tied, even though the egg doesn' reach the uterus, the uterus still sheds the endometrium, the uterus' lining. This will keep happening until the woman becomes pregnant, or she is in menopause. The only way this can be circumvented is when a woman has her uterus removed/and/or her ovaries.

Your body still has all the same hormones and you still menstruate. The only difference is the egg, rather than traveling down the fallopian tubes, gets absorbed into the body.
Your body still gets the chemical message that there has been no fertilization, so your period still comes.

women still get their period because it is the lining of the uterus that is shed, it is a natural occurance, but their fallopian tubes are tied, this disallows the egg to get to the uterus. no egg, but body still sheds its lining, I hope this helped

tubal ligation is a form of birth control that stops the egg from getting to the uterus. You have to have what is called an ablation as a form of birth control to stop the bleeding. This is a non revirsible procedure

because its the lining of the womb that comes away every month eggs dont need to pass through to make you bleed the lining builds up through out the month then the wall falls so to speak to give you a period

Hmm solid question. Why might you nevertheless get your era? i presumed that the ovum and corpus luteum are to blame for the upward thrust in estrogen and progesterone, which motives the uterus lining to type? in spite of in case you need to understand which you do no longer in basic terms could desire to flush out the egg, the entire uterus lining is shed and must be flushed out. Did you think of females have been chickens laying eggs? all of the blood there's a consequence of their uterus linings laying off...

Because the egg is still released. The body has no way of knowing that it doesn't reach it's destination, it just knows that it wasn't fertilized and implanted.
