Can women have tubal ligation after a cesarean section?

Patient's question:

I don't know what happened recently, but I've been feeling unwell and quite uncomfortable. I just had a C-section about one and a half months ago and now I want to get a tubal ligation. How long can you do it? Is it harmful to the body? Could it cause any other symptoms? Can I get a tubal ligation after a C-section?

Doctor's answer:

Three months after a cesarean section, the body is completely recovered, and it is possible to have a tubal ligation. Postoperative side effects are highly unlikely to occur again, although occasionally infection may lead to chronic pelvic inflammatory disease or a successful abortion followed by pregnancy again. Tubal ligation is an irreversible form of contraception. Based on your age, it is recommended to use tools for breastfeeding or start using an intrauterine device (IUD) after 6 months, or undergo subdermal implantable contraception for breastfeeding.
In addition, during the treatment for a cesarean section, apart from symptomatic treatment, the patient's dietary condition and psychological state are also particularly important. The patient must maintain a positive mood and eat a balanced diet to avoid unnecessary impacts on the full recovery from the cesarean section.
