Many women, like this <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=hvU7gD0xKhQ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">beauty vlogger<\/a>, get their tubes tied immediately <a href=\"https:\/\/naturalwomanhood.org\/problem-offering-tubal-ligation-tubes-tied-delivery-room-labor-birth-2020\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">following a planned Cesarean section<\/a> when their bodies are already \u201copen\u201d anyway. And while 90,500 people Google \u201ctubal ligation\u201d each month, another 17,500 people are searching \u201ctubal ligation reversal\u201d or \u201ctubal reversal\u201d in hopes of conceiving naturally after previously undergoing a sterilization procedure because they, like the vlogger, go on to regret the loss of their fertility. One scenario in which this might plausibly occur is when a woman who previously underwent sterilization gets divorced and remarried, and seeks to have a biological child with her new partner or spouse. Another possible scenario, though undoubtedly tragic, would be if one experiences the death of a child, and decides to try for more children afterwards, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scarymommy.com\/sometimes-regret-getting-tubes-tied\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">as this <em>Scary Mommy<\/em> writer experienced<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"health-authorities-caution-that-tubal-ligation-should-be-thought-of-as-permanently-sterilizing\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Health authorities caution that tubal ligation should be thought of as &#8220;permanently sterilizing&#8221;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Mainstream health websites routinely caution women considering tubal ligation against presuming that reversal will be possible. On its tubal ligation page, the Mayo Clinic <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mayoclinic.org\/tests-procedures\/tubal-ligation\/about\/pac-20388360\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">warns<\/a> not once, but twice, that \u201cmost tubal ligation procedures cannot be reversed. If reversal is attempted, it requires major surgery and isn&#8217;t always effective.\u201d Furthermore, Mayo Clinic warns, one should \u201ckeep in mind that although tubal ligation reversal is possible, the reversal procedure is complicated and may not work.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) <a href=\"https:\/\/www.acog.org\/womens-health\/faqs\/sterilization-for-women-and-men\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">emphasizes<\/a> similarly, \u201cThere is also no guarantee that you will be able to get pregnant\u201d after a reversal, and suggests women consider undergoing <a href=\"https:\/\/naturalwomanhood.org\/infertility-treatments-pose-risks-to-moms-and-babies\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">in vitro fertilization (IVF)<\/a> as an alternative to reversal. The <a href=\"https:\/\/medlineplus.gov\/ency\/article\/007651.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">National Library of Medicine<\/a> states bluntly \u201cthe [reversal] surgery is rarely done any more. This is because the success rates with in vitro fertilization (IVF) have risen. Women who wish to become pregnant after having tubal ligation, are most often counselled to try IVF instead of surgical reversal.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But is it true that \u201cmost\u201d tubal ligations are irreversible? In this case, the facts tell another story. Here we\u2019ll address what tubal ligation reversal is, factors that make a woman more likely to have a successful reversal, the unfortunate reality of the high cost of reversals, and risks to future pregnancies after a successful reversal.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-do-you-reverse-a-tubal-ligation\"><span id=\"how-do-you-reverse-a-tubal-ligation\">How do you reverse a tubal ligation?&nbsp;<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>According to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hopkinsmedicine.org\/health\/treatment-tests-and-therapies\/tubal-ligation#:~:text=Tubal%20ligation%20is%20surgical%20procedure,Ligation%20means%20to%20tie%20off.\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Johns Hopkins Medicine<\/a>, a tubal ligation occurs when the Fallopian tubes (where fertilization of an egg by sperm normally takes place) are \u201ccut, tied, clamped, banded, or sealed off with an electric current.\u201d To reverse a ligation, a surgeon reconnects the tubes in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.healthline.com\/health\/pregnancy\/tubal-ligation-reversal#procedure\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">one of two ways<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In a robot-assisted procedure, any previously inserted clips or rings are removed along with any damaged sections of the tubes, and then the healthy tube tissue is stitched back together. In a mini-laparotomy, the work occurs outside the body. The Fallopian tube ends are pulled out through several small incisions made at the bikini line, and then clips, rings, and\/or damaged tissue are removed. After the surgeon has stitched together the healthy tissue, it is reinserted in the body.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tubal ligation reversal surgery lasts two to three hours on average and occurs in a hospital. If there are no complications, the woman can go home that same day with instructions about general rest, pelvic rest (no sex), and return to work. Cleveland Clinic <a href=\"https:\/\/my.clevelandclinic.org\/health\/diseases\/17584-tubal-reversal\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">reports<\/a> that \u201cMost patients return to normal activities within two weeks.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"tubal-ligation-reversals-require-significant-expertise\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tubal ligation reversals require significant expertise<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Reattaching cut tube ends requires tremendous skill, as each Fallopian tube is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.britannica.com\/science\/fallopian-tube#:~:text=Each%20fallopian%20tube%20is%2010%E2%80%9313%20cm%20%284%E2%80%935%20inches%29,many%20folds%20and%20papillae%E2%80%94small%20cone-shaped%20projections%20of%20tissue\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">less than half an inch wide<\/a>, and each stitch is less wide than the diameter of one hair. Unfortunately, many gynecologic surgeons simply aren\u2019t trained or don\u2019t have adequate experience performing reversals, as the 2015 study mentioned above noted, \u201cin spite of the reported success rates, [tubal ligation reversal, known as tubal anastomosis] is being performed less frequently, and taught less frequently in fellowship training programs in the United States,\u201d with just over half of primary surgical fellows reporting having ever done at least one tubal ligation reversal in one survey [1][3].&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"how-common-are-tubal-ligation-reversals\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">How common are tubal ligation reversals?&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>One <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fertstert.org\/article\/S0015-0282(15)00292-7\/pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">2015 study<\/a> suggested that just 1 percent of tubal ligations are reversed, but this single statistic does not tell the whole story about regret and reversal, as a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/science\/article\/abs\/pii\/S0010782405003148\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">2006 study<\/a> found that far more women requested information about reversal than underwent it [1],[2]. Many women who regretted their tubal ligation may have experienced significant barriers to procuring reversal, with the high cost of reversal procedures likely chief among them. Of note, <a href=\"https:\/\/ifstudies.org\/blog\/now-playing-on-social-media-sterilization-and-millennial-hopelessness\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">women who were under the age of 30 when they underwent tubal ligation<\/a> were much more likely to go on to regret being sterilized than women who were over the age of 30 [2].&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"how-successful-is-reversal\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">How successful is reversal?&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>An estimated <a href=\"https:\/\/veritasfertility.com\/treatments\/tubal-ligation-reversal\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">70-80%<\/a> of women <a href=\"https:\/\/my.clevelandclinic.org\/health\/diseases\/17584-tubal-reversal\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">will go on to successfully conceive<\/a> after a tubal ligation reversal. The gloom and doom stance of the Mayo Clinic, while somewhat understandable from the vantage point of wanting to be sure women undergoing tubal ligation know what they\u2019re signing up for, is not backed up by the high success rates of tubal ligation reversal procedures.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Factors that impact reversal success include the woman\u2019s age (reversals are more likely to be successful in younger women), how much healthy tube tissue remains after the original ligation, weight (overweight or obese women are less likely to have successful reversal), and whether she has underlying reproductive and\/or other general health conditions. Furthermore, many OB\/GYN practices that offer tubal ligation reversals will test the woman\u2019s partner\u2019s sperm count and <em>only<\/em> proceed with the procedure <em>if<\/em> his sperm count is over a certain level, since low sperm count or poor sperm motility (abnormal movement of sperm) make conception unlikely even if the reversal was successful.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"most-insurance-companies-wont-cover-reversal\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Most insurance companies won\u2019t cover reversal<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>While most insurance plans cover long-acting reversible contraception (LARCs) like IUDs or the arm implant <a href=\"https:\/\/naturalwomanhood.org\/birth-control-implant-may-not-stay-in-your-arm-nexplanon-side-effects-1-2019\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Nexplanon<\/a>, as well as tubal ligation sterilization procedures, very few will cover tubal ligation <em>reversals<\/em> for women who change their minds and seek to conceive naturally (this is similar to how insurers will frequently cover vasectomies, but not <a href=\"https:\/\/naturalwomanhood.org\/is-a-vasectomy-reversal-effective-enough-to-help-you-become-a-dad-again\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">vasectomy reversals<\/a>, which normally cost between $8,000 to $15,000 out-of-pocket). Tubal ligation reversals can be cost prohibitive as they range from $5,000-$21,000 out-of-pocket according to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.healthline.com\/health\/pregnancy\/tubal-ligation-reversal#cost\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Healthline<\/a>, with an average cost of $8,685.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At the same time that tubal ligation reversals are most often not covered by insurance, IVF costs are increasingly covered. This is disappointing for many reasons, among them the fact that for women under the age of 41, tubal ligation reversal typically makes much more financial and health sense (in terms of <a href=\"https:\/\/naturalwomanhood.org\/infertility-treatments-pose-risks-to-moms-and-babies\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">risks and side effects<\/a>) than undergoing IVF [1].&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"pregnancy-risks-after-tubal-ligation-reversal\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Pregnancy risks after tubal ligation reversal<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Dr. Gavin Puthoff is the founder and medical director of Veritas Fertility and Surgery in St. Louis, MO. He is trained in Natural Procreative Technology (NaPro), and he performs many tubal ligation reversals.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/veritasfertility.com\/treatments\/tubal-ligation-reversal\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Dr. Puthoff\u2019s website<\/a> notes, \u201cAs with any surgical procedure, tubal reversal surgery does come with some risks, including bleeding, infection, and injury to nearby structures. In general, the risk of a complication like this is less than 1%.\u201d The most likely pregnancy complication after tubal ligation reversal is increased chance of ectopic pregnancy, when the embryo implants outside the uterus, oftentimes in the Fallopian tube. Ectopic pregnancies have zero chance of resulting in a live birth,<em> and<\/em> can be life-threatening for the mother if the Fallopian tube ruptures as the embryo grows. Ectopic pregnancy may occur in 2% of pregnancies normally, but after tubal ligation reversal, the risk goes up to 5-7%.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To sum, while tubal ligation reversals are possible, the procedure is not without complications. It is also becoming increasingly difficult to find physicians who are adequately trained to perform reversals, and costs can be exorbitant and prohibitive. Furthermore, women and couples considering tubal ligation should not be fed false assurances that IVF\u2013which is often costly and unsuccessful\u2013will be an available avenue for having children should they change their minds in the future. Rather, <a href=\"https:\/\/naturalwomanhood.org\/tubal-ligation-vs-vasectomy-possible-relationship-effects-of-sterilization\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">couples who are done having children and desire a more \u201cpermanent\u201d form of family planning would do well to consider methods of natural family planning or fertility awareness methods, <\/a>which are noninvasive, side effect-free, and can be highly effective for long-term pregnancy avoidance.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>References:<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n[1] Messinger, Laura B et al. \u201cCost and efficacy comparison of in vitro fertilization and tubal anastomosis for women after tubal ligation.\u201d <em>Fertility and Sterility<\/em>, vol. 104, no. 1 (2015): pp. 15-282. <a href=\"http:\/\/dx.doi.org\/10.1016\/j.fertnstert.2015.04.019\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">http:\/\/dx.doi.org\/10.1016\/j.fertnstert.2015.04.019<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n[2] Curtis, Kathryn M. et al. \u201cRegret following female sterilization at a young age: a systemic review.\u201d <em>Contraception<\/em>, vol. 73, issue 2 (2006): pp. 205-10. <a href=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1016\/j.contraception.2005.08.006\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1016\/j.contraception.2005.08.006<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n[3] Armstrong, Alicia et al. \u201cThe role of Fallopian tube anastomosis in training fellows: A survey of current reproductive endocrinology fellows and practitioners.\u201d <em>Fertility and Sterility<\/em>, vol. 82, issue 2 (2004): pp. 495-97. <a href=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1016\/j.fertnstert.2004.02.107\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1016\/j.fertnstert.2004.02.107<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 id=\"additional-reading\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Additional Reading:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/naturalwomanhood.org\/problem-offering-tubal-ligation-tubes-tied-delivery-room-labor-birth-2020\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">The unethical push to sterilize women in the delivery room<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/naturalwomanhood.org\/when-getting-your-tubes-tied-isnt-as-tidy-as-it-sounds-2019\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Post-tubal ligation syndrome: When getting your tubes tied isn\u2019t as tidy as it sounds<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/naturalwomanhood.org\/tubal-ligation-vs-vasectomy-possible-relationship-effects-of-sterilization\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Done having kids and having the vasectomy vs tubal ligation argument?
