What is Abdominal Tubectomy?
Abdominal Tubectomy is a surgical procedure where a woman’s fallopian tubes are either cut, tied, or blocked to prevent eggs from reaching the uterus. This procedure ensures that sperm cannot fertilize an egg, effectively preventing pregnancy. It is considered a permanent form of contraception.

During the follicular phase of the menstrual cycle, interval sterilization should be carried out no later than seven days before the menstrual period.
It is recommended that postpartum sterilization be performed 24 hours to 7 days following delivery.
It is possible to do sterilization and medical termination of pregnancy (MTP) at the same time.
Sterilization after spontaneous abortion is possible if the patient meets the requirements for medical eligibility.
