Tubular Sterilization

	Tubule sterilization is very effective but not fully. The failure rate is 1-5% during the first 10 years after the operation. If you think that you are pregnant after having a tubule sterilization, return to the clinic immediately. Should a pregnancy occur, there is an increased chance that the pregnancy will be outside your uterus (an ectopic pregnancy).
	It is difficult to reverse this operation if you want to become pregnant at a later time.
	The operation to reverse tubule sterilization is highly technical, expensive and the results cannot be guaranteed.
	Sterilization will not protect you from HIV or other infections. Use a condom if you or your partner are at risk.
