YouTube? Nope...Getting Your Tubes Tied


What is tubal ligation?Tubal ligation is a surgical procedure designed to make a woman sterile by cutting, tying, clipping, cauterizing or blocking the fallopian tubes so sperm can't reach an egg and fertilize it. The surgery is considered permanent (even though it's occasionally reversible), so most states require a 30-day waiting period before you can schedule it. Prices vary, but expect to pay between $1,000 to $2,500. Most insurance companies will cover at least part of the cost of the procedure.

If it's safe, I recommend women go through this procedure - especially if they plan on sampling the men in college or whatever LOL
