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.

Legal Limits and Guidelines for Sterilization
In India, sterilization procedures like tubal ligation are governed by legal and ethical guidelines to ensure informed decision-making and patient safety.
Age Requirement: Women must be at least 22 years old and no older than 49 years to undergo sterilization under government guidelines.
Number of Children: Typically, women with at least one living child are eligible for sterilization. This ensures that the decision is well-considered and informed.
Voluntary Decision: The decision to undergo sterilization must be entirely voluntary. Forced or coerced sterilization is strictly prohibited by law.
Informed Consent: Women are required to give written consent after receiving detailed counselling about the procedure, its permanent nature, and alternative contraceptive options.
Spousal Consent: While spousal consent is not a legal requirement, it is often encouraged to ensure mutual understanding and support within the family.
In some cases, sterilization may be recommended for medical reasons, such as high-risk pregnancies or underlying health conditions.
These cases are evaluated by a qualified medical team to ensure patient safety and compliance with legal requirements.
Clients who are mentally ill must be certified by a psychiatrist, and the client's spouse or legal guardian must attest to the client's mental health.
