Can a woman get pregnant after family planning operation?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
It is still possible to become pregnant after undergoing the procedure, but tubal ligation is usually highly effective. The surgery involves cutting and tying off the fallopian tubes to prevent an egg from entering the uterus. Undergoing tubal ligation increases the risk of ectopic pregnancy.

A 30-year-old woman who has undergone a family planning operation, commonly known as sterilization, generally has a very low chance of becoming pregnant. However, pregnancy is not impossible in some cases.
-
Type of Operation:
a. The most common family planning operation is tubal ligation, which blocks or seals the fallopian tubes to prevent eggs from reaching the uterus. -
Effectiveness:
a. Tubal ligation is highly effective, but there is a very small failure rate (less than 1%). -
Possibility of Pregnancy:
a. Rarely, the fallopian tubes can spontaneously reconnect, or the procedure might not have been fully effective, leading to a chance of pregnancy. -
Risks:
a. If pregnancy occurs after sterilization, there is a higher risk of ectopic pregnancy, which requires immediate medical attention. -
Reversal:
a. Some women consider tubal ligation reversal surgery, but success rates vary and depend on factors like age and the method used.
If you or someone you know is concerned about pregnancy after sterilization, consulting a gynecologist is important for personalized advice and evaluation.

View allI've been working out 5 days a week, mixing between light and hard exercises, but I've noticed that I bleed vaginally every single time. It's been happening more often in the past 2 months and I've been in this routine for 6 years. I'm really confused because I'm a virgin, so it can't be anything sexual, and my periods are regular. Plus, I've never used birth control. What's going on?
It's concerning that you're experiencing vaginal bleeding during every workout, especially if it's been happening more frequently. This could be related to hormonal imbalances, stress, or even physical strain. I strongly recommend consulting a gynecologist to rule out any underlying conditions and get a proper diagnosis.
