Can women regain fertility after tubal ligation?

It is possible for women to regain fertility after tubal ligation. Female sterilization involves tying the fallopian tubes to achieve permanent contraception. If a woman has normal uterine and ovarian function, fertility can be restored through the following methods:
1. In vitro fertilization (IVF): Fertilization occurs outside the body, followed by embryo transfer. This is a feasible option for women who have undergone tubal ligation.
2. Tubal recanalization surgery: Also known as tubal reanastomosis, this procedure reconnects the severed ends of the fallopian tubes to restore their patency. Success rates vary depending on individual circumstances, but generally, if the surgery is successful and recovery proceeds well, natural conception may be possible again.
After surgery, it is important to maintain vaginal hygiene and prevent infection. If any discomfort occurs, prompt medical attention should be sought.
