Female sterilisation involves the blocking off or the cutting of the fallopian tubes which carry eggs from the ovaries to the womb. When the tubes are blocked, the man’s sperm cannot reach the egg.
Female sterilisation is a simple surgical procedure which can usually be carried out under a local anaesthetic. It is more than 99% effective in preventing pregnancy. The tubes can sometimes, but rarely, join together again after the procedure.
