I am having to have a d&c & a laparoscopy done and tubes are tied. Are they going to have to do a reversal?

Frist of all, a D&C is NOT an abortion, it is used for diagnostic and treatment purposes. The D&C (dilation and cutterage) is used to diagnose cancer, endometriosis, and causes of abnormal uterine bleeding. It may also be used to treat some causes of bleeding. it is preformed in 2 steps. 1st is dilation of the cervix by insertion of progressivly larger rods. 2nd step is endometrial cutterage, or scraping of the uterine lining. the scraped tissue samples are then removed by suction, the sent to the lab for analysis. As for the laparoscopy, depending on what is being looked at, a small abdominal incision may be made and a small amount of gas injected into the abdomen to create a pocket to allow a clear view of the organs. expect  for your shoulder to hurt afterwards due to your body absorbing the gas. TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION, NO, your tubal will not have to be reversed. a laparoscopy was preformed on you when you had your tubes tied.

Tubal ligations are 99.5% effective as birth control. Approximately 1 out of 200 women who have had tubal ligation will get pregnant. There is though an increased risk of an ectopic (tubal) pregnancy if pregnancy occurs after a tubal ligation. After some time there is a also a potential of tissue rejoining the tubes together.\nTubal reversal is possible.  Not all women who have had a tubal ligation will be able to have the procedure reversed. During your initial assessment for the procedure, your fertility specialist will examine the current health of your fallopian tubes, most likely through laparoscopy. She will also look over the surgery and pathology reports from when you originally had the procedure done. Tubal reversal would cost around $5000 and up. Invitro typically costs more. This link shows where this procedure can be done, state by state and more info about this type of surgery. \nhttp://www.ihr.com/infertility/provider/tubal_reversal.html?source=overture

There is only one kind of vasectomy i.ecuttig and  tying the  spermatic cord  through which the sperms travel on both sides, by a very very minor operation. If necessary the cut tubes could be joined by the same method again if the person wants. . It is commonly done. It is neither  harmful nor dangerous and no untoward effects at all. He wiil be normal even after that physically and sexually.  It is just like an outpatient treatment.  Let him have it.  You need not have any anxiety. Usually vasectomy is done as a family planning programme. So let him go ahead and reverse what has been already done. Encourage him . Good luck.

Tubal sterilization is a surgical operation. It closes off the fallopian tubes, where eggs are fertilized by sperm. When the tubes are closed, sperm cannot reach the egg, and pregnancy cannot happen. \n\nSterilization does not affect femininity. Sterilization will not affect your sexual organs, or your sexuality. No glands or organs will be removed or changed. All of your hormones will still be produced. Your ovaries will release an egg every month. Your menstrual cycles will most likely follow their regular pattern. \n\nSterilization is more than 99 percent effective. In very rare cases, tubes may reconnect by themselves, and pregnancy may occur. Such rare pregnancies may develop outside the uterus (womb) and require emergency surgery. \n\nYou must consider the operation permanent. You and your partner will need no other birth control method after a successful tubal sterilization. It may be possible to reverse the operation in some cases, but your decision not to have a child in the future must be firm. You must be absolutely sure you will never change your mind or regret your choice - no matter how your life changes. \n\nSterilization will not cause symptoms of menopause (change of life) or make menopause happen earlier. \n\nYour partner also may want to consider sterilization. Sterilization for men is called vasectorny. Vasectomy is simpler, costs less, and has fewer risks than tubal sterilization. Vasectomy also must be considered permanent however, so think carefully about what sterilization will mean for both of you before you make your decision. \n\nHOW IS IT PERFORMED?\n\nThe procedure requires a small incision in the abdominal area near the navel and sometimes a second small incision near the pubic hairline. The surgeon inserts a slender instrument (laparoscope) and seals the fallopian tubes so that eggs can no longer pass through to become fertilized. The procedure takes about 20-30 minutes, and patients rest in a recovery room for 1-2 hours. For women seeking first-trimester abortion and tubal ligation, Planned Parenthood offers these two procedures as a combined service on the same day. \n\nDOES THE OPERATION HURT? \n\nIf you have your tubal ligation at the Planned Parenthood clinic, you will be given local anesthesia and IV sedation to help you relax, but you will not be asleep. You may feel some mild discomfort during the operation. If you prefer to be completely asleep during the surgery, a gynecologist from Planned Parenthood will perform the tubal ligation under general anesthesia at a nearby hospital. \n\nWHO WILL PERFORM MY OPERATION?\n\nThe procedure is performed by a female Board-certified gynecologist experienced in laparoscopic tubal ligation procedures. \n\nWHAT WILL THE SURGERY BE LIKE?\n\nThe surgery consists of the following steps: \n\nIV is started, medications given. \nAn instrument called a uterine elevator is inserted into the vagina. \nUnder local anesthesia, the physician will make an incision approximately 3/4" at the umbilicus (belly button). \nThrough the incision a harmless gas (carbon dioxide) is passed to inflate the abdomen and isolate the fallopian tubes. \nA laparoscope is inserted through the incision with allows the M.D. to visualize the fallopian tubes. \nOnce the tubes have been isolated and anesthetized a grasping rod is passed through the laparoscope. A low voltage current is emitted from the rod, sealing each fallopian tube. \nAll instruments are removed; a bandaid is placed to cover the incision which has been sealed with 2-3 dissolvable stitches. \nThe entire procedure will take an average of 25-40 minutes. Throughout the procedure, pressure and moderate abdominal cramping may be felt along with discomfort associated with anesthesia administration in cervix (needlestick). Additionally, there may be a small to moderate amount of vaginal bleeding, cramping and bloating 1-3 days after the procedure. \nHOW DO I PREPARE FOR THE SURGERY?\n\nAt a clinic visit before the surgery

yes vasectomy can be reversed;A vasectomy in males. The vasa deferentia, the tubes which connect the testicles to the prostate, are cut and closed. This prevents sperm produced in the testicles to be in the ejaculated semen fluid (which is mostly produced in the prostate and the seminal vesicles). \nA tubal ligation in females. The Fallopian tubes, which allow the sperm to fertilize the ovum and would carry the fertilized ovum to the uterus, are closed. This is sometimes referred to as getting one's "tubes tied." \nA hysterectomy in females. The uterus is surgically removed, permanently preventing pregnancy and some diseases, such as uterine cancer. \nThe closing of either type of tube can be done in several different ways, some of which are more permanent, reversible or guaranteed to work than others. The tube can be:\n\nclamped off. \ncut off. \ntied off. \nblocked.

First hand experience!  I went from a G cup (seriously!) to a D in December of 2004.  The surgeon took off 13 pounds from me - he said it was the largest he had ever done.  I had three compressed vertebrae, was in constant pain and was tired of being gawked at.  By far the best thing I've ever done.  I was off work for three weeks.  The first couple of days are painful, especially if you drainage tubes.  Because the tubes are inserted into you, shifting positions can make you sore.  They give you narcotic painkillers and your best bet is rest.  I propped myself up on pillows, watched movies and just slept.  My surgery was performed on Friday.  My drainage tubes were removed on Wednesday (warning, when they pull them, it hurts like hades, but only briefly, once they're gone, the pain is pretty much over!).  I took painkillers on Wednesday and Thursday morning.  After that, it was plain Tylenol!  I was a bit tired, but it really didn't hurt.  Because of the stitches, they don't want you exercising or lifting anything.  My Mum came to stay with me and took care of everything.  \n\nThe relief in my back was immediate.  Within two weeks post-surgery, my vertebrae had completely decompressed.  I do have some scarring on my sides and underneath because he removed a huge amount of tissue, but the results are so stunningly beautiful!  I still look in the mirror all the time and admire them, they're perky and cute!  Its amazing how  wonderful it feels to have someone look in my eyes when they're talking to me now.  Good luck to you!  It will change your life.

Almost all vasectomies can be reversed. However, if the vasectomy was performed during the repair of a hernia in the groin, there may be more difficulty reconnecting the ends of the vas. Rarely, reconnection of the ends of the vas is not possible because such a long segment of the vas was removed during the vasectomy procedure. The chances of vasectomy reversal success depend on how much time has passed between the vasectomy and the reversal. Success rates range from 30% to 50%.1 Over time, additional blockages can form and some men develop antibodies to their own sperm.

I am a Surgical Technologist. The fallopian tubes can be reastimosed [put back together] but your chances of I'm not sure of. You need to find a Gynocologist that has good percentage of pregnancys after the surgery and talk to him.

Not in itself.\n\nHowever, there are complications of the condition that may require further surgery. But that decision won't be faced unless the surgeon sees something during the periscope or path results on the fibroids show an abnormality.\n\nYour surgeon will be the person to tell you more about that though.

It's called a vasovasostomy, which is a form of microsurgery. The vas deferens, the tubes which carry ejaculate to the uretha, are reconnected.\n\nDepending on how long the original vasectomy was in place, the ability to be successfully fertile after a reversal is between 30 and 70%.

It depends on how and why the surgery was performed.  The woman should talk to her GYN about the specifics of her case.  There's really no one-size-fits-all answer.  Best wishes.
