This study found that 3-5% of women who have had tubal ligations reported experiencing a pregnancy afterwards, which is significantly higher than the commonly cited rate of less than 1%.
Every single form of contraception can fail at some point, and we need to acknowledge that there will always be a need for abortion services regardless of the method used.
With the overturning of Roe v. Wade and subsequent restrictions on abortion, interest in permanent sterilization options has surged among younger women, underlining the complexities of reproductive choices.
The findings challenge previous assumptions about the reliability of tubal ligation, revealing a higher incidence of pregnancy than typically communicated by healthcare providers.
