A Basic Explanation of Tubal Ligation for Birth Control

While a number of women take oral contraceptives as a temporary form of birth control, many would prefer a permanent alternative that does not involve daily pills or monthly injections.

In this video we take a closer look at the use of tubal ligation for pregnancy prevention. A tubal ligation is a type of sterilization procedure in which the fallopian tubes are tied or blocked in order to prevent an egg from leaving the ovaries where it can be fertilize. Unlike oral contraceptives, tubal ligation procedures do not affect your hormones, won’t change your period, and should have no adverse effects on your sex drive. Watch this video for more information.
