It is very normal that after undergoing tubal ligation or BTL the desire to become pregnant again comes. To make this possible, one of the most frequent options is tubal recanalization, however, it is not always the best option. Here we will talk about the subject and one of the most effective alternatives to achieve your dream of being a mother.
What is tubal recanalization?
It is a surgical procedure that is performed to try to restore the patency of the fallopian tubes after having undergone tubal ligation or bilateral tubal ligation (BTL) BTL is a permanent method of birth control in which the fallopian tubes are blocked or cut to prevent the passage of eggs to the uterus. tubal recanalization seeks to reverse this process to restore its normal function, allowing the eggs to pass through the fallopian tubes again and reach the uterus.
It is important to note that tubal recanalization does not guarantee a successful pregnancy. The success rate of this procedure can vary depending on several factors, such as the woman's age, the condition of the fallopian tubes, and the technique used. Some women can achieve a successful pregnancy after tubal recanalization, while for others it may not be effective and they may consider other options.
The best alternative to achieve your pregnancy
Fortunately, there are more effective alternatives to achieve the dream of being a mother again. One of them is Assisted Reproduction, specifically In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) (IVF). IVF is a procedure in which eggs are removed from the ovaries and fertilized in a laboratory. Once the embryos develop, they are transferred to the woman's uterus for a pregnancy to develop. This technique offers a higher success rate compared to tubal recanalization and may be a viable option for many women who wish to conceive after tubal ligation.
The Benefits of In Vitro Fertilization (IVF):
IVF offers several advantages for couples or women who want to conceive compared to tubal recanalization. Some of them are:
- Higher success rate: IVF allows the fertilization of the eggs in a controlled laboratory, which increases the chances of obtaining mature embryos to be transferred to the uterus.
- Genetic selection: It offers the possibility of carrying out genetic tests on embryos before their transfer, which makes it possible to detect hereditary or chromosomal genetic diseases and select healthy embryos for implantation, reducing the risk of transmitting genetic diseases.
- Treatment opportunity or same-sex couples or single women: Through the use of sperm or egg donors, an IVF process can be carried out.
Couples should consider all options and consult with a fertility specialist to evaluate each situation individually and determine the best option to achieve the desired pregnancy after tubal ligation.
