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 had an episiotomy during childbirth about 3.5 years ago, and since then, a large piece of flesh was accidentally cut. It took a really long time to heal. Around 1.5 years after delivery, I noticed a small gland about the size of a cumin seed, and that's where the pain started. It has grown a lot, and now it's about 2 inches long. The pain is constant and gets worse after my menstrual cycle. Could you advise on what might be going on and which consultant I should see? I'm a bit worried.
Dog Bite from Fully Vaccinated Dog _General Guidelines_ 1. _Low risk_: Since your dog is fully vaccinated, the risk of rabies transmission is low. 2. _Post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP)_: However, it's essential to take precautions to minimize the risk of rabies transmission. _Recommended Actions_ 1. _Wash the wound_: Immediately wash the bite wound with soap and water. 2. _Apply antiseptic_: Apply an antiseptic cream or solution to the wound. 3. _Monitor your dog's behavior_: Keep a close eye on your dog's behavior for the next 10-14 days. If your dog shows any signs of illness or unusual behavior, seek veterinary attention immediately. 4. _Consult a doctor_: As a precautionary measure, consult a doctor to assess the risk of rabies transmission. They may recommend: a. _Observation_: Monitoring your condition for a few days to ensure no symptoms develop. b. _PEP_: Administering post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) as a precautionary measure, although this is unlikely given your dog's vaccination status. _Rabies Vaccination_ 1. _Unlikely necessary_: Given your dog's full vaccination status, rabies vaccination for you is unlikely necessary.

I'm on my 8th day of bleeding, and my periods usually last just 4 days. This time, I've had clots for 4 days and then light bleeding for the next 4 days. It's day 8 now, and I'm getting a bit concerned. Is there any medication I should consider taking?
Frequent Bowel Movements and TB Diagnosis _Normal Bowel Movement Frequency_ 1. 3-4 times a day is considered normal. 2. 5-6 times a day may indicate an issue, such as: - Gastrointestinal infection - Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) - Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) _TB Diagnosis Concerns_ 1. _TB diagnosis requires confirmation_: A single symptom, like frequent bowel movements, is not enough to confirm TB. 2. _Additional tests are necessary_: Your doctor should have ordered additional tests, such as: - Stool tests - Blood tests - Imaging studies (e.g., X-rays, CT scans) - Endoscopy or colonoscopy _Next Steps_ 1. _Seek a second opinion_: Consult another doctor to confirm the diagnosis. 2. _Request additional testing_: Ensure that all necessary tests are conducted to confirm or rule out TB. 3. _Follow-up appointment_: Schedule a follow-up appointment to discuss test results and determine the best course of action.
