Many women who have had a tubal ligation find themselves considering tubal ligation reversal. We have patients who come to A Personal Choice from all areas of the United States, Europe and Asia for ligation reversal procedures. They come to have their tubes untied for a variety of reasons. Many patients have told us about the frustration they felt when talking to their ob/gyn doctors about tubal ligation reversal or to a reproductive specialist who recommended only in-vitro fertilization (IVF). Many patients have also said their doctors minimize their concerns about symptoms they developed after having their tubes tied.
We recently published a blog about why some doctors may have negative opinions regarding ligation reversal surgery: Why your doctor may be cold to the idea of tubal ligation reversal. We also went to our message board and asked our patients and prospective patients about personal experiences with their physicians when talking about ligation reversal surgery. There we found out that many doctors were very supportive of their patient’s desire to have reversal surgery. The responses can be read under the message board topic: Share your doctors’ attitudes about tubal ligation reversal. Please feel free to leave your story about your experience when seeking reversal surgery or your doctor’s attitude toward the surgery.

Whether you’re wondering about tubal reversal pregnancy rates, PTLS or how to talk to your doctor about having your tubes untied, we want to be able to address your concerns about tubal ligation reversal.
