Can having a tubal ligation cause problems later on?

Problems are very rare, but this type of surgery can cause bleeding or damage your bowel, bladder, or major blood vessels.

Why are women not allowed to untie their tubes?

One reason docs are so opposed to the phrase “tube tying” is it creates the false impression that the tubes can be untied, says Nikki Zite, MD, an associate professor of obstetrics and gynecology surgery at the University of Tennessee. Many women even assume that the tubes will somehow untie themselves—without medical intervention—over time.
