Factors To Consider When Going For Sterilization Reversal

By Karen Perry


The decision of becoming a parent is one that is considered to be a lifelong decision that should be properly done. In the same way, choosing to be a mother of more than one child is something you can decide on. Some mothers opt to have some surgery to keep them from having more children which is known as tubal ligation but later have a change of heart. The best way to deal with this is by having a Sterilization Reversal.

It is important to note that not every mother is fit to have the reversal done. This is because not all mothers can have a successful pregnancy afterwards even when the surgery was well done. Issues such as age has a great impact on the chances of mothers having a healthy and uncomplicated pregnancy period. Therefore those above forty may not need this second surgery.

In situations whereby the procedure used to close up the tube lead to the reduction of the length of the fallopian tube could also disqualify you as a candidate. Mothers who had their tubes tied with a clip or knot are more successful than those who had them cut to form stumps. The reduction of the length reduces opportunities for pregnancy. It is therefore necessary to remember what kind of procedure that was used on you before having the reversal.

The general health of both partners has to be checked out. This means that the ovaries of the mother should still be able to produce healthy eggs and the sperm count and health of the father has to be in check. In cases whereby one of the partner is unhealthy, then there will be less chances of a successful pregnancy hence the doctor can advise against the second surgery.

Therefore, before getting the procedure done, it is wise to go to a specialist who will confirm if you are a proper candidate. The practitioner may ask questions such as how long it has been since you had the previous surgery, what method was used, and if you previously had a healthy pregnancy period. Ensure you get all this information before the surgery.

A professional surgeon has the mandate to take you through the procedure and discuss it with you stating all the risks that you may face. Knowing that not every surgery goes without risks occurring, instances such as excessive bleeding can happen. High chances of infection may also take place due to the delicate nature of the process hence you need someone qualified.

To get a qualified specialist, do a thorough research for individuals who have had success stories and have specialized in handling cases in this field. This requires an individual who has been through intense training, is licensed and has been through the required years of medical school.

All services come with a price and this kind of surgery tends to be costly. However, this should not lead you to settling for something cheap. Plan ahead by getting quotations from various clinics and hospitals offering this services and check with your financial status. This will help you to successfully go through the process and still manage your money well.
