Answer:
Dear
Jennifer,
About
1-4% of patients experience complications following tubal ligation.
There is a low risk (less than 1% or seven per 1,000 procedures) of
a later ectopic pregnancy.
Ectopic
pregnancy is a condition in which the fertilized egg implants in a
place other than the uterus, usually in one of the fallopian tubes.
Ectopic
pregnancies are more likely to happen in younger women, and in women
whose tubes were closed off by electrocoagulation.
Symptoms
to look for in an ectopic pregnancy:
* Abdominal
or pelvic pain.
* A missed
period.
* Signs
of early pregnancy.
* Vaginal
bleeding not caused by menstruation.
* Dizziness
or fainting.
Ectopic
pregnancy starts usually with side pain and is emergency surgery,
the best way is to have your tubes cut and cauterized, this way they
are completely severed and then cauterized (burned).
Apparently,
you can get pregnant if a small section of the fallopian tubes have
been removed and the "ends" sealed, then the cut part of
the tube COULD have healed back together, forming a tube ... again
