Female Sterilization – Tubectomy
Female Sterilization, medically known as Tubectomy, is a permanent surgical method of contraception designed for women who have completed their family and are certain about not wanting future pregnancies.
In this procedure, the fallopian tubes are blocked, cut, or sealed to prevent the egg from traveling from the ovaries to the uterus, thereby eliminating the possibility of fertilization.
Tubectomy is considered a safe, effective, and long-term solution for birth control when performed by experienced clinicians in a well-equipped medical setting. The surgery can be done using minimally invasive techniques such as laparoscopy, which reduces hospital stay, postoperative discomfort, and recovery time.
At CureU Healthcare, female sterilization is approached with sensitivity, thorough counseling, and strict adherence to clinical safety protocols, ensuring that every patient makes an informed, confident decision about her reproductive health.
What is Female Sterilization (Tubectomy)?
Understanding permanent contraception for women
Tubectomy is a permanent method of contraception intended for women who are confident that they do not wish to conceive in the future. The procedure works by physically blocking the fallopian tubes so that sperm and egg can never meet.
It does not affect hormonal balance, menstrual cycles, or sexual health, which makes it a preferred choice for women seeking a one-time, long-term solution without ongoing medication or device use.
Proper counseling before the procedure is essential, as tubectomy is considered irreversible in most cases.
- Permanent Solution Designed as a lifelong method of birth control with extremely high effectiveness rates.
- Hormone-Free Does not interfere with natural hormones, ovulation, or menstrual cycles.
- One-Time Procedure Eliminates the need for daily pills, injections, or repeated medical visits.
- High Success Rate More than 99% effective in preventing pregnancy when performed correctly.
Procedure and Surgical Techniques
How tubectomy is performed safely
Tubectomy can be performed using different surgical techniques depending on the patient’s medical condition, timing, and preference.
Laparoscopic tubectomy is the most common modern approach, involving small incisions and the use of a camera to precisely block or cut the fallopian tubes.
In some cases, tubectomy may be done immediately after childbirth or during a cesarean section, making it convenient and reducing the need for an additional surgery.
- Laparoscopic Tubectomy A minimally invasive method with faster recovery and minimal scarring.
- Postpartum Tubectomy Performed soon after delivery when the uterus is still enlarged.
- Interval Tubectomy Planned procedure done at a time unrelated to pregnancy.
- Short Hospital Stay Most patients can return home the same day or within 24 hours.
Recovery, Benefits, and Possible Risks
What patients can expect after surgery
Recovery after tubectomy is generally smooth, especially with minimally invasive techniques.
Most women experience mild abdominal discomfort, which resolves within a few days with prescribed medications.
While tubectomy is very safe, like any surgical procedure it carries minimal risks, which are carefully managed by experienced surgeons.
- Recovery Time Most women resume normal daily activities within 5–7 days.
- Long-Term Convenience Once healed, no additional contraception is required.
- Possible Side Effects Mild pain, temporary bloating, or shoulder discomfort after laparoscopy.
- Rare Risks Infection, bleeding, or injury to nearby organs, which are uncommon when performed by experts.
