Pointers To Have Before Having A Sterilization Reversal

By Karen Perry


There have been many incidences whereby parents have opted to go through tubal ligation to prevent further pregnancies due to reasons such as illnesses, to focus on work or to limit the number of children. In the same way, some opt to have a Sterilization Reversal to allow them to get children again even after having the initial surgery.

The process involves opening up the fallopian tube that was closed up during the initial surgery that prevented fertilization of the egg from the ovary. However, not just any person can undergo the second surgery. Factors such as age comes in whereby a mother who is above forty may not be a successful candidate due to the fact that chances of having a complicated pregnancy is high.

The other reason that could determine your success is the kind of ligation procedure you initially went through. Most surgeons ask to know this so that they can judge whether you will have enough space for fertilization in your tube. This is because other procedure tend to shorten the length of the tune which will affect fertilization. In such instances, the physician advices against going through the treatment

The other reason that prevent you from going through the process is if the general health of your ovaries, uterus and the remaining tube has deteriorated. At times, the health of the eggs may be slow as well as the sperm count of your partner. It would be unfortunate to go through the process only to find that your eggs are not healthy enough or that of the sperm to form a healthy baby.

The physician who will be attending to you needs to prepare you for the process by asking you vital questions such as how long it has been since you had the surgery. It is important to know so as to determine whether the fallopian tube can sustain fertilization. Issues such as whether you had a proper pregnancy period and the procedure used on you will also be asked. This helps you to save on expenses as well as know whether you are fit for it.

Further discussion with the surgeon is necessary for you. You should be aware of the steps used to carry out the reversal and if the doctor is going by the books. He or she should let you know of all the likely risks that may occur during and after the procedure. One of them could be excessive bleeding or further blocking of the tube which could be caused by formation of scars on both ends.

Considerations for the doctor who will perform the surgery is important. You should not take the risk of going to any individual who offers cheap services in order to save on expenses. Choose someone who is licensed, has been permitted by the health department of your state, has had the correct number of years of training and has specialized in this precise field.

The other thing that you should plan on is how to finance yourself for the process. Such a procedure tends to be expensive due to the risks involved. Therefore, get more quotes from clinics practicing this treatment and choose one that falls within your budget.
