tube tying
Permanent birth control
Tube tying is an informal term for tubal ligation—a surgical procedure that blocks or severs the fallopian tubes to prevent pregnancy.
The tubes carry eggs from the ovaries to the uterus; blocking them prevents fertilization.
She decided to get her tubes tied after her third child.
The procedure is considered permanent, though reversal is sometimes possible.
