Tubal ligation, a sterilization procedure for women, involves cutting or blocking the fallopian tubes to prevent pregnancy. While considered a highly effective method, it’s not foolproof. In rare cases, a woman can still get pregnant after tubal ligation, a phenomenon known as a tubal ligation failure.
Tubal ligation failure can occur due to various factors, including surgical complications, failed sterilization, or spontaneous recanalization. Despite its rarity, tubal ligation failure highlights the importance of understanding the limitations of sterilization procedures and considering alternative contraception methods if desired.
