subject: All You Need To Know About Tubal Ligation Reversal [print this page] Tubal Reversals are becoming as common as Tubal Ligation process itself. Advancements in medical sciences are certainly to be thanked for it; but this marked increase is also due to an increased awareness about the method as well as examples that testify the efficiency of this procedure. Many women, across the world, have reclaimed not only their fertility but also their lives and joys after undergoing tubal ligation reversal procedures.
So what determines the success of the tubal reversals procedure?
It is needless to add that the litmus test for the success or failure of any such procedure will be whether the subject becomes pregnant again and is able to bear child or not. Merely restoration of the female reproductive organs will not qualify the Tubal ligation reversal as successful. This becomes more so important in the light of the fact that around 98 percent of the women opt for tubal reversals in order to restore their fertility.
Now, once this is established we can consider the factors that support or undermine the chances of couple conceiving after the procedure.
Age
It is common knowledge that women do have a biological clock when it comes to the production and release of the ovaries in their fallopian tubes. The quality and the quantum of the female egg determine, to a large extent, the success or failure of the efforts to conceive. The subjects that are in the prime of their reproductive health have a better chance of benefitting most from the tubal ligation reversal operations as opposed to their chronologically older counterparts. So, if you have made up your mind it will be advisable to quit procrastinating and take the plunge.
Condition of the fallopian tubes
Tubal reversals are all about restoring the fallopian tubes to their pre-surgery stage. So, if post-surgery the changes are as little possible, it will be more helpful. This includes the length of the remaining tubes as compared to the original length, and the method used for hampering them. In such cases, it will be better if the tubes are long and the ligation procedure itself was not very destructive and irreversible.
