Tubes tied

[Georgethecat1]

Anyone had their tubes tied and has it affected their periods? Someone recently said it made their periods alot heavier but I can’t find any information online if this is normally the case. Just weighing up options. TIA

I had mine done over 30 years ago, and it made no difference whatsoever to my periods. However, personal anecdotes aren’t really much use as a basis for decision making: you need to speak to a HCP or look for reputable articles online. Here’s one I found, and it says that if you’re coming off the pill, your periods may seem heavier, but that if you’ve had a coil removed, they may seem lighter:

I had mine done in 2022 and my periods wasn't affected.

I had my tubes removed not tied, it's more effective. The first period afterwards was heavy & I had clumps of tissue, after that it was back to normal

Ahhh good to hear! It freaked me out a bit. We are planning a final baby and I was hoping to have a c section with tubes done at the same time. Well this is the plan in my head so far 😂

I was sterilised after my second baby my periods were fine but I had pain in my groin every month that I didn't have before.
