Tubal Ligation...?

Question

Anyone who has had this procedure done... could you share your experience. Good? Bad? Complications? Adverse reactions? Would you recommend it based on your experience?

I've heard that some women get very painful periods afterwards and that recovery times can be long. I understand that everyone is different and I have an appointment in January to discuss it with my Doc.

Husband isn't real keen on the idea. Can't say I blame him. LOL!

My insurance covers 90%. I'm not worried about that. Besides, traveling form the US to India to cut costs is kind of a no-brainer isn't it?

I mean I would pay more to get there then anything else. Besides, my BCBS of Illinois wouldn't cover that surgery in India. I work at a hospital and I'm familiar with the physicians and the procedure. I trust my docs here in the US. Thanks for the info, but I was really just looking for personal experiences.

Answer 1

Tubal ligation,IVF (in vitro fertilization) treatment; IUI, ICSI and Laparoscopic surgery is have become very common now. The cost is very low and the medical services are very good in India.

My cousin and her husband got their IVF treatment in India through the Forerunners Healthcare in India and is all praise for this company. She is a known case of PCOS.She is a very happy mother of a baby boy now. She just paid 2500 pounds for the full IVF treatment in India for which she was quoted 8000 pounds in private setup in UK.

Forerunners Healthcare is very famous in India. I read a lot about them in the newspapers. I have also read about a Chinese couple who planned surrogacy through the Forerunners Healthcare. They arrange financing for USA, Canadian, UK and other international patients who plan to have surgery and infertility treatment like IVF, IUI, and ICSI abroad for low price. They also have photos pasted of their International patients. You can checkout their website. There are huge cost savings. As a doctor I personally believe that surgery and treatment can be easily handled in India, as the quality of healthcare available In India is simply best in the world. The surgeons are USA/UK trained and facilities are 5 star.

Many patients travel from United States of America and UK to get low cost surgery in India. Indian corporate hospitals are comparable to hospitals anywhere in the world. In fact, India has medical facilities that are comparable with the USA, UK and Canada. India offers World Class Medical Facilities, comparable with any of the western countries. India has state of the art Hospitals and the best medical experts. With the best infrastructure, the best possible Medical facilities, accompanied with the most competitive prices, you can get the treatment done in India at the lowest prices

Answer 2

I thought about it a long time, but couldn't get one because I had no children (there's a rant I could go on) so when my doc suggested the depo provera injection for birth control, I did that and have been on it ever since (about 10 yrs)...no periods at all and it's been an effective form of birth control as well...

I won't consider a tubal now unless I have to stop taking the injections...at 42 yrs old, I think they'd allow it now, even though I still am childless...

Answer 3

when you consider which you're saying that's the physician it relatively is requiring this permission and not enforced by utilising regulation i could enable the familiar public comprehend that this actual physician demands permission from a husband for a tubal ligation. placed the stress on him and in keeping with possibility he will exchange his techniques. the entire permission element is previous and ridiculous. What happens with this physician for single women folk, does he require a permission slip from a boyfriend, uncertain. This physician is discriminating against you and different women folk because of the fact of marital status. He could desire to be stopped. i could exchange docs and checklist him to the disciplinary board.

Answer 4

had it done after my second son. The only complication/complaint I had was that it took almost a year for my periods to straighten themselves out. I didn't have one for the first 4 months and then spotting then nothing.....its been 20 years and I've not regretted it. Periods straightened out after about a year. I've had no hormonal issues or anything else. The freedom from pregnancy was a bit heady at first though :)

Answer 5

I had this procedure about 15 years ago. It was done by laparascope, just two tiny incisions with band-aids put over them. It was quick and easy. No complications for me at all. For me, it eliminated the possibility of pregnancy without the dangers of birth control pills or the inconvenience and uncertainty of other birth control methods.

Answer 6

I had this done in 1999 and I have had no complications. I will tell you that you will be a little sore, but that's going to happen with any procedure. It has been absolutely wonderful and even made my cycle a little shorter. It is a hard procedure to reverse, so please make sure this is what you want.

Answer 7

I had one many years ago 1980 to be exact. It was pain-full for the first couple of days. They have to dilate you and the gas they use causes some pain. In the long run you will have bad periods and possibly benign tumors on your ovaries or cancerous ones. I would suggest some other form of contraceptive. If you are older have it all taken out.

Answer 8

i had a tubal after i had my 2nd csection. my cramps have become so severe after having this done that im thinking about reversing it. i don't know if my tubal has anything to do with my cramps but i never had cramps like this before my tubal. but almost everyone i talked to who have had tubals had little or no effect from having it.

Answer 9

i had a very hard time afterwards...they expand your insides with a gas so they can see better and i was in pain for at least a wk ...if you are married have your husband get clipped so much easier...by the way i have heard this from many women...

Answer 10

OH YEA, NOTHING TO IT. MINE WAS DONE AS "OUT-PATIENT" SURGERY AND I DIDN'T REALLY HAVE ANY COMPLICATIONS. THE ONLY THING I WILL SAY IS THAT I WAS STILL NURSING MY DAUGHTER AT THE TIME (SHE WAS 3 MONTHS OLD) AND IT DRIED MY MILK UP. I WAS TOLD THAT IT WOULDN'T CAUSE ANY PROBLEMS IN THAT AREA BUT IT DID AND I WAS REALLY PISSED ABOUT THAT. BUT OTHER THAN THAT, I WOULD RECOMMEND IT IF YOU WERE CERTAIN THAT YOU DIDN'T WANT ANYMORE CHILDREN.
