Tubectomy is known as a permanent way of birth control and
sterilization for women. In this, the Fallopian tubes are blocked, so that the
eggs are prevented from travelling to the uterus from the ovary for
fertilization. There are many advantages for this surgery like small incisions,
easy and fast access to the Fallopian tubes and easy recovery. But, some side
effects of a tubectomy should also be in consideration, if you are opting for
tubectomy as a birth control measure.
Even though the chances of getting pregnant are less after
the blockage of Fallopian tube, certain other common side effects of a
tubectomy may make the condition bad. If you notice any difficulties after the
surgical procedure, seek medical advice at the earliest. Early diagnosis will
help resolve the problem easily and quickly. Here are some common side effects
of a tubectomy.

| Side Effects Of A Tubectomy |
Reactions to anaesthetic
drugs: This is one of the major side effects of a tubectomy due to anaesthesia.
Depending on the degree of allergic reactions of the person towards any anaesthetic
drugs, the seriousness of reactions may differ.
Bleeding: Bleeding
is a complication of tubectomy. Accidental perforations during the surgery may
result in bleeding. Post operative care is also important to keep the person
recover fast, without facing any complications like bleeding.
Breathing
difficulties: Breathing difficulty is one of the common side effects of a
tubectomy. The major reason for this is the reaction of the person towards the
anaesthetic drugs used for the surgery. It is important to report if you have
already known allergy.
Infections:
Infection is one of the major side effects of a tubectomy. If you experience
fever or abdominal pain, it is very important to report about it immediately to
your doctor. Early diagnosis is crucial in handling infections.
Perforation of major
vessels: Perforation of major vessels may occur during the surgical
procedure. It may be related to injury of the surrounding blood vessels of the
surgery site. It may lead to massive haemorrhage and sepsis.
Abdominal pain: Abdominal
pain is generally not directly related to the surgical procedure. It may arise
due to infections, which may occur as side effects of a tubectomy. Abdominal
pain will generally be focused on the lower portion.
Perforation of Fallopian
tube: This is due to accidental tearing of Fallopian tube during the
surgical procedure. This may lead to haemorrhage, which is one of the side
effects of a tubectomy. Report if you experience abdominal pain or fever after
the surgery.
Ectopic pregnancy:
Chances of getting pregnant after tubectomy is very less. But, if it occurs,
generally ectopic pregnancy will be the result. Ectopic pregnancy is a serious
life-threatening condition if not diagnosed in time.
