The process of untying the ligature

Sterilization is a very common method of contraception nowadays. It mainly achieves the contraceptive effect by tying off the tubes that transport reproductive cells in the human body. But most people are very resistant to this surgery, always feeling that it will cause unnecessary harm to their bodies. In order to eliminate everyone’s concerns, we will introduce the specific process of ligation today so that everyone can have a clearer understanding of it.

1 Generally speaking, previous ligation was to remove and tie the fallopian tube or vas deferens. The patient's situation needs further understanding to see whether the fallopian tube was removed at the time of ligation. If it was removed, then the chance of getting pregnant again after the ligation is removed is very small, and in vitro fertilization is the only option.

2 If the fallopian tube is just blocked by a knot or a plug, there is still a chance of pregnancy after the ligation is removed, but the recovery time after the ligation is removed is relatively long. Generally speaking, there will still be a certain degree of inflammation in the fallopian tube after the ligation is removed. It is best to wait half a year to check whether the fallopian tube is unobstructed.

How long does it take to get pregnant after the ligation is removed: You need to have surgery to connect the fallopian tubes. It usually takes three years to get pregnant after the surgery.

3. Older women and untying the ligation tube: It is relatively risky for women to become pregnant after they are over 40 years old, and they are prone to adverse reactions such as miscarriage, ectopic pregnancy, and intrauterine fetal maldevelopment. Many women enter menopause at this age, and their ovarian function declines. If this is the case, it is difficult to be sure whether they can still get pregnant normally after the fallopian tube recanalization surgery, because the body's endocrine and hormone levels are no longer at the level required for normal pregnancy, and ovulation may also be abnormal (manifested as irregular or irregular menstruation, etc.). So if you have already had surgery and want to have your artery canal restored, theoretically it should be possible, but it also depends on whether your physical condition is suitable.

4. Precautions for untying the ligature:

Experts here remind everyone that ligature removal is a highly demanding operation. It is recommended that everyone go to a regular hospital for the ligature removal operation and understand the precautions of the operation to avoid any inconvenience in future life.

1. Stay in the hospital for observation for 1-2 hours after the operation. Go home if there is no abnormality. Rest in bed for at least one day after returning home.

2. Within the first 8 hours after surgery, apply a towel to the affected area and put an ice pack on it from time to time.

3. Keep the affected area clean and dry, and bandage the incision with gauze for more than 3 days to avoid contaminating the wound. After 3 days, you can wipe it with diluted alcohol to help clean it. If you experience symptoms of infection such as fever or chills, go to the hospital for treatment immediately.
