Tubal ligation generally has minimal impact on women. The procedure is typically performed in an operating room under anesthesia. For minimally invasive surgery, patients usually require 3–5 days of postoperative rest. Since the trauma is generally minor, complications are rare; however, potential risks include pelvic adhesions, chronic pain, bleeding, or infection. It is recommended to undergo tubal ligation at a reputable medical institution to minimize the risk of complications.
