Tubal Reversal Truths

There is so much to be said about tubal reversal surgery but what is true and what isn't? First, to understand what tubal reversal surgery is. Tubal reversal surgery is the repair of the fallopian tubes after they have been blocked. Many believe that being blocked means done by a doctor but this is not always the case. There are many women that have blocked tubes from something other than a medical procedure and go on to have the blockage repaired by a reversal surgeon. Often, when a woman is having trouble conceiving is when she will discover she has a blocked fallopian tube.

For those who have had a tubal ligation or their "tubes tied" and want to have another child, tubal ligation may just be the answer. All too often couples are not told about reversal surgery but are told about IVF or in vitro fertilization. There are two main concerns for couples when they are given the facts about IVF. The first is that it is so expensive. One treatment of IVF to become pregnant can range anywhere from $12,000-$15,000. Some clinics will say their costs are below $10,000 but they are usually leaving out part of the plan.

The wonderful thing about tubal reversal surgery is that the cost for outpatient surgery is about $6,000. This is just a fraction of the cost of IVF. Reversal surgery is less taxing on the female body and there are no other medications involved. The couple has a chance of achieving pregnancy each month and if they desire to have more children after the first there is no other medical intervention needed. Numerous reversal couples go on to have two or more reversal babies.

There has been very little information for couples and even those in the medical field to find on tubal reversal pregnancy success. The leading tubal reversal center has changed all of this. Over the years they have meticulously collected the results from almost 10,000 patients. Each time a patient reports a pregnancy they are asked to fill out a Pregnancy Report Form. All details are then added to the database and become part of the statistics. The Tubal Reversal Pregnancy Report 2011 has just been released and the results are quite remarkable.

This study once again proves what tubal reversal surgeons have known all along. Reversal surgery has a better pregnancy success rate over the alternative treatment of IVF. This has been known for years but it has never been proven. With these studies not only are couples becoming more educated in reversal surgery but those in the medical community are also seeing. All too often couples are steered away from getting answers on surgery to repair blocked tubes. There are even instances where a couple will believe they are going for a consultation on surgery and the physician will tell them IVF will work better.

If you or someone you know is interested in having fertility restored after a tubal ligation or blocked tubes be sure to research tubal ligation reversal surgery. If you know a physician who states surgery doesn't work point him or her in the direction of the newest tubal reversal pregnancy report. The newest results will surprise many who did not know the facts.
