Fallopian Tube Removal : Removal or blocking fallopian tubes permanently is known as Tubal ligation. Tubal ligation is a surgical procedure in which egg fertilization with sperm is stopped. Therefore women can’t bear a child and are considered to be a method of birth control. It is one of the most effective methods of female sterilization.

Removing one or two fallopian tubes is known as salpingectomy. Removal of fallopian tubes is done in several methods including hysterectomy, oophorectomy, and cesarean section. Fallopian tubes are locations where eggs are fertilized with sperm. The fertilized egg or embryo comes down to the uterus to grow. Removal of fallopian tubes means you will no longer bear a child. However, with help of IVF, you can conceive a child.  Even with the removal of one fallopian tube, you still have a chance to conceive a child. Removal of both fallopian tubes makes you infertile.

Women without fallopian tubes can live without any health complications. However, she can’t conceive a child and can choose an option to go for IVF if she likes to have a baby after fallopian tube removal.

After fallopian tube removal, the egg can’t reach the uterus through the tubes. Sperm also can’t reach an egg in the fallopian tube to get fertilized.
