Question

Sterilisation in men means preventing the flow of sperms into the seminal vesicles by cutting or ligating the vas deferens. Can there be a corresponding operation made in women ? if yes, where?

Answer 1

Yes, there is a corresponding operation made in women. The name of the operation in women is ‘tubectomy’. In tubectomy, the abdomen is opened and the fallopian tubes (oviducts) are cut or ligated i.e. tied with nylon thread to close the passage of the egg.
