Tube Reversal and Fertility Options for a 45-Year-Old Woman After 17 Years of Tubal Ligation
1 week ago
I am 45 years old and had my tubes tied 17 years ago after my second cesarean delivery. My menstrual cycles are normal, and I am generally healthy, though I have mild calcium and B3 deficiencies and slightly low hemoglobin. I want to know if it is possible to reopen my tubes, what methods are available, what the chances of conception are, and whether any fertility tests like AMH should be done before considering the procedure.”

Yes, reopening of the tubes is possible, either through laparoscopy or an open surgical method. During the procedure, the blocked segments are cut and freshened to allow the passage of eggs.
Maximum conception chances are in the first six months after the surgery. Before proceeding, it is important to check the AMH level, which indicates egg reserve. If AMH is normal (2–2.5), fertility potential is good; low levels may require donor eggs.
Your menstrual cycles being normal is a positive sign. If you do the surgery now, note that there may be a 3-month waiting period for optimal egg recovery. Hormonal injections can help if egg reserve is adequate, but donor eggs may be needed if it is poor.”
