Sterilization is a method of birth control, which leaves a male or a female unable to reproduce. It is a major decision of one’s life that prevents pregnancy to occur. Tubal sterilization, popularly known as “having one’s tubes ties” is the most common sterilization procedure for women. In this, the fallopian tubes, which allow the sperm to fertilize the ovum, are closed, so that the fertilized ovum cannot travel to the uterus.

Luciano Sztulman, MD, is proficient in performing sterilization. As sterilization is a permanent technique, it should be thought of very carefully after knowing all the pros and cons of it, suggests Dr. Luciano Sztulman, obstetrician and gynecologist. He strongly recommends avoiding making this choice during stressful times, like after losing a pregnancy or during a divorce. Further, a woman’s decision to undergo sterilization should be voluntary; it should not be forced by her partner or family members.

Dr. Luciano Sztulman, obstetrician and gynecologist has years of experience in women’s health and fitness. He asserts that tubal ligation, which is a lifelong procedure, should not be attempted to reverse. Although, there are methods to reverse it, but the risk factor is quite high. Many women are unable to get pregnant after reversal; some even face the problem of ectopic pregnancy. Just in case you have dilemmas about being sterilized, Luciano Sztulman, MD advises to choose one of the short-term methods of birth control like hormonal contraceptives, intrauterine device, barrier methods, or even natural family planning and periodic abstinence. These methods are not foolproof, so you should take proper advice from Dr. Sztulman.

Luciano Sztulman, MD, cautions that sterilization does not prevent sexually transmitted diseases (STDs). If you have any doubts on any of the birth control methods, you can discuss your concerns with Dr. Luciano Sztulman, obstetrician and gynecologist.
