The process includes cutting, obstructing or blocking the birth canal. This prevents the egg from meeting with the sperm thus preventing pregnancy. Though it is meant to be permanent, it can be reversed. The process of a sterilization reversal is challenging. It involves removing obstructed parts and reconstructing the ducts.

There are several types of family planning methods some are permanent like sterilization while others are temporary such as hormonal injections and pills. Women are advised to consult their caregivers for assistance before they decide on which technique to use. This is because each person will react to the particular form of contraception depending on their body type. Clients who choose tube ligation should know that some methods are fixable other are unchangeable.
