No. After ligation you can resume regular activities as soon as you are free from
post-procedure discomfort. The procedure will not make you sick; neither will it
affect your ability to work. Usually, doctors advise the woman to take 2 to 3 days
rest and avoid lifting of heavy objects for a week.
Can have a pregnancy outside the womb (ectopic pregnancy) after ligation?
After ligation women face less risk of having an ectopic pregnancy than women who
have not had ligation.
No. Ligation will not hasten menopause. After the procedure, you will continue to
ovulate and menstruate normally (although you will no longer get pregnant) until
you reach menopause.
No. Ligation has been practiced for several generations, and there is no medical
evidence that ligation shortens the life of a woman.
Is BTL reversible?
No. New techniques have been developed, using local anesthesia, which make ligation
possible without a hospital stay. Discomfort felt after the procedure can almost
always be relieved with basic medications like paracetamol, ibuprofen, and
mefenamic acid.
