One of the ways of female contraception is ligation of the fallopian tubes . It is used most often for medical reasons, if a woman can not have children for health reasons and contraceptives are contraindicated. In addition, they can make this operation for a woman at her own request. It is allowed to women over 35 years of age, if they already have at least one child, because the most irreversible consequence of a tubal ligation is infertility, that is, a woman will never be able to have children. Therefore, before the operation, she must sign several documents.

The possibility of pregnancy after ligation of the fallopian tubes is almost zero. There were very rare cases when a woman gave birth after that, but there are so few of them that we can say that the piping of the tubes guarantees complete infertility .
