Open in App
Solution
Tubectomy:
Tubectomy is one of the female birth control methods.
It is a type of permanent (surgical) and effective birth control method.
Tubectomy is also referred to as tubal sterilization.
Tubectomy is a sterilization method in which a small part of the fallopian tube is removed or tied up.
The procedures are minor, usually performed under local anesthesia, cause minimal discomfort, and have no effect on sexual life.
This method of birth control is extremely effective.
Tubal ligation is performed using a laparoscope (a telescopic instrument).
This constricts the fallopian tubes.
Because the ovaries are intact, eggs continue to be produced, but they do not pass into the uterus and sperms do not reach the eggs for fertilization.
