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'm really curious about Acutret. I heard it's used for contraception and that it makes it difficult or maybe even impossible to conceive while on it. Can you tell me what kind of complications might come with taking Acutret? Like, are there any side effects I should be worried about if I'm considering this medication?
Thats not a contraceptive and is used for healthy looking skin,not related to your concern

I'm trying to decide between private and community stem cell banking, and I'm a bit stuck. With private banking, they keep the stem cells just for my child and our family. But with community banking, it's like being part of a larger group where anyone in that group could use the stem cells if needed. I'm really curious about which option might be better for us, and if there are any big pros or cons I should be thinking about before making a decision. Can you help me understand the differences and what's best for my family?
Both options provide a significant opportunity to preserve stem cells that could potentially save lives in the future, so its essential to weigh the personal benefits and financial implications. Discussing your decision with a healthcare professional or a genetic counselor might help clarify which option aligns best with your familys needs.

I'm a 25-year-old woman and I've been having this really intense pain in my lower tummy right after I masturbate. Ive done all the testsSTD tests, ultrasound, and even a vaginal swaband everything has come back normal. Im super confused and a bit worried about what could be causing this pelvic pain, especially when it hits so hard every time. Any thoughts on what might be going on?
Masturbation now is regarded as a normal, healthy sexual activity that is pleasant, fulfilling, acceptable, and safe. It is a good way to experience sexual pleasure and can be done throughout life. Masturbation is only considered a problem when it inhibits sexual activity with a partner, is done in public, or causes significant distress to the person. It may cause distress if it is done compulsively or interferes with daily life and activities.
