Last Update: 10/03/2025

Silvia Azaña, an embryologist at inviTRA, explains in this video whether women continue to have periods after tubal ligation:

Yes, even though pregnancy is effectively prevented because the woman has undergone a tubal ligation, she continues to ovulate as usual, her ovaries continue to function normally., hormone levels are not affected by this particular method of contraception, and therefore her menstrual cycles continue to develop normally.
