Every year in the USA alone 650,000 women will under go tubal ligation surgery, which thus ends their chances of ever having children (or so they thought). However for some of these women their circumstances may change and they have now decided that they do in fact want to have children. In fact around 6% of all women who have had this form of surgery will, within 5 years of having it carried out, decide that they do in fact want to have children. Luckily for them, their chances are greatly increased of having their own baby because they can choose to have tubal ligation reversal surgery carried out on them.

For some women it is not a desire for children that causes them to want a tubal ligation reversal. Instead it may be the the result of effects that are associated with post tubal ligation syndrome which can cause different problems that the reversal may be able to counteract.

Among the many symptoms a woman could be experiencing after a tubal ligation there are early onset of menopausal symptoms, a decrease in libido and sex drive and even a worsening of PMS symptoms. Some other problems that can be associated with this are suffering hot or cold flashes, some trouble sleeping and moods swings.

To determine if a tubal ligation reversal is going to be successful, there are several points that must be taken into consideration. The first thing your surgeon is going to want to know, which he will get from your records, is what kind of tubal ligation procedure you had. This can help him figure out what options are open to him,if any, to undo the original ligation.

Another factor that must be taken into consideration, and most women know this, is the woman's age when thinking about a tubal reversal. Any woman over the age of 40 should really have a good discussion with her surgeon just to see what he thinks her chances of success are. Any damage that happened to the fallopian tubes during the original procedure or in the time since it took place will have some effect upon success.

Those who will have the better chance for a successful tubal ligation reversal are women who only a small pieces of the tubes removed if that was the procedure used. Additionally women who had procedures that use the clips or rings also have a better chance for success.

You can realize from what we have written so far that your potential doctor for the tubal ligation reversal will need to review your medical record for the original procedure. Armed with this information, it is time for your doctor to discuss the probabilities of success in your case and how you should proceed.

As the doctor discusses the procedure with you he will talk about the pros and cons to carrying the reversal out. You may just learn that due to age or damage to your tubes that a tubal ligation reversal surgery is just not the best option.
