Let’s discuss this important decision. Contact us.
What is a Tubal Ligation (Salpingoclasia)?
A tubal ligation (often referred to in Mexico as Salpingoclasia) is a surgical procedure designed to provide permanent contraception. This is a definitive choice for women who are certain they do not wish to have children in the future, or who have completed their families. The procedure for tubal ligation is straightforward: it is an operation that permanently blocks, cuts, or seals the fallopian tubes. This action prevents the egg from traveling from the ovary to the uterus, and it also blocks sperm from traveling up the tube to meet the egg. This permanently prevents fertilization and pregnancy.

Is Tubal Ligation Permanent?
A Note on Reversibility
important factors to consider when making this decision. Can tubal ligation be reversed? This is the most common question patients ask. While surgical procedures to attempt a reversal do exist, they are complex, expensive, and often not successful. We strongly advise our patients to consider this a definitive, non-reversible procedure. You should only choose a tubal ligation if you are 100% certain you do not want to become pregnant in the future.
What about pregnancies after tubal ligation? A tubal ligation is one of the most effective forms of contraception available, with an effectiveness rate of over 99%. While no method (besides abstinence) is 100% perfect, the chances of pregnancy after this procedure are extremely low.
Common Questions & Long-Term Side Effects
When considering a permanent procedure, it is normal to have questions about the long-term effects on your body. Most concerns are based on common myths, which we can clarify.
Will tubal ligation stop periods?
No. A tubal ligation will not stop your periods. The procedure only involves the fallopian tubes. It does not touch your ovaries (which produce hormones) or your uterus (which sheds its lining as your period). Your menstrual cycle and hormone levels will continue exactly as they did before.
Can tubal ligation cause weight gain?
No. This is a common myth, but there is no scientific evidence linking tubal ligation to weight gain. The procedure does not alter your hormones or your metabolism.
What are the tubal ligation long-term side effects?
A tubal ligation is considered an extremely safe procedure with no long-term side effects. The primary “effect” is the intended one: permanent contraception. As with any surgery, there are minimal immediate risks, such as infection or bleeding, which a specialist will discuss with you in detail during your consultation.

Requirements for a Tubal Ligation
One of the most common questions is regarding the age for tubal ligation or other requirements. Unlike other medical procedures, the primary requirement for tubal ligation is not a specific age, but certainty. This is a permanent, irreversible decision. Therefore, the main requirement is that you are of legal age and are 100% certain that your family is complete.
During your consultation, a specialist will have an in-depth conversation with you to confirm your understanding of the procedure. This is not to judge your decision, but to ensure you are fully informed about its permanent nature and that it is the right choice for your life goals. This procedure is intended for women who have their “family complete” and do not desire future pregnancies under any circumstances.

The Tubal Ligation Procedure and Recovery
The process for tubal ligation is a common and very safe surgical procedure. It is typically performed using a minimally invasive technique called laparoscopy.
The Procedure
This is a tubal ligation operation performed in a hospital or surgical center with anesthesia. Our specialist will make one or two very small incisions (often near the belly button). A laparoscope (a thin tube with a camera) is inserted to visualize the fallopian tubes, and specialized instruments are used to cut, seal, or block them.
Tubal Ligation Recovery
Because this is often a laparoscopic procedure, the tubal ligation recovery is generally fast. Most patients go home the same day. You can expect some mild cramping or shoulder pain (from the gas used in laparoscopy) for a day or two. Most patients return to light activities within a few days and can resume all normal activities, including sexual intercourse, within a few weeks, once cleared by the doctor.
You will receive a complete and detailed aftercare plan to ensure your recovery is as smooth and successful as possible.
