A tubal ligation is a permanent sterilization procedure in which a woman's fallopian tubes are blocked or severed. Which of the following explains how this process can be used to prevent pregnancies? Answer It prevents a fertilized egg from traveling to the uterus. It prevents a zygote from being implanted into the uterine wall. It prevents the maturation of the follicle and the release of an egg. It prevents the thickening of the walls of the uterus.
Tubal ligation is performed in women who definitely want to prevent future pregnancies. It is frequently chosen by women who do not want more children, but who are still sexually active and potentially fertile, and want to be free of the limitations of other types of birth control. Women who should not become pregnant for health concerns or other reasons may also choose this birth control method. Tubal ligation is one of the leading methods of contraception, having been chosen by over 10 million women in the United States—about 15% of women of reproductive age. The typical tubal ligation patient is over age 30, is married, and has had two or three children.
yes but what does it prevent?
I think it's this one: It prevents the maturation of the follicle and the release of an egg
but i'm not sure
Tubal ligation has two functions. It prevents eggs from entering the uterus where it can be fertilized. It also prevents sperm from entering the fallopian tubes where it can fertilize eggs. This operation has a very high effectiveness rate of 99.5% in the first years. But as the years pass, the effectiveness may diminish because, in some cases, the fallopian tubes re-form, resulting in pregnancy.
