Sterilization is when a man or woman has an operation to permanently prevent pregnancy. If you're sure that you don't want to have children or you don't want more children, sterilization may be the right choice for you.
Tubal ligation (also called "getting your tubes tied") involves closing off a woman's fallopian tubes so eggs can't travel through them to reach the uterus. A device called Essure can also be used to close off a woman's fallopian tubes. Essure is a metal coil that is inserted into your fallopian tubes by your doctor.
Men are sterilized with a vasectomy. The man's vas deferens (sperm ducts) are closed off so sperm can't get through.
