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 worried because my periods are 22 days late, and I've taken three home pregnancy tests but all came back negative. I also got a thyroid test done, and that came back normal. My doctor prescribed me a 5-day course of Deviry 10mg, but I still haven't had my period. I have thalassemia minor and my hemoglobin is 8. Could my missed periods be due to low hemoglobin levels?

I'm dealing with an intense itching sensation in the area between my vagina and anus, and it's been going on for about a month now. It's really hard to stop scratching and it's becoming quite uncomfortable. Could you guide me on what might be causing this or suggest what I should do?
Itching between the vagina and anus can have many causes, including: Skin conditions: Eczema, dermatitis, psoriasis, lichen sclerosus, and lichen simplex chronicus can all cause itching. Irritants: Sweat, tight clothing, soaps, perfumes, detergents, and razor burn can all irritate the skin. Allergies: An allergic reaction to something in your environment can cause itching. Sexually transmitted infections (STIs): Genital herpes, genital warts, HPV, syphilis, and gonorrhea can all cause itching. Pinworms: These parasitic worms can cause intense itching at night when females lay their eggs around the anus. Yeast infection: A yeast infection in the vagina or anus can cause itching. Fecal contamination: Contact with fecal material can cause itching. consult dermatologist

I'm 31 and have multiple fibroids with the largest being 8cm. My doctor is recommending surgery but I really want to avoid it. Are there any effective Ayurvedic or Siddha treatments in Chennai that can help dissolve uterine fibroids naturally?
While Ayurvedic and Siddha medicines may offer symptom relief and potentially help with shrinking fibroids, they are unlikely to completely dissolve large fibroids like the one you have (8cm). For such cases, surgical options like myomectomy or hysterectomy are often necessary. However, some Ayurvedic and Siddha treatments might help manage symptoms and potentially reduce the size of smaller fibroids
