What does it mean for a woman to be sterilized?

Female sterilization is usually referred to as tubal ligation and is a common form of sterilization for women. The fallopian tubes belong to the channel that carries eggs. Women who do not have the requirement to have children and want long-term contraception can consider undergoing ligation, also known as tubal ligation. Through surgical methods, the fallopian tubes are cut off and ligated so that the eggs cannot be discharged, preventing the eggs from meeting the sperms, thus achieving the purpose of sterilization, which can play a role in long-term contraception. At a later stage when a woman has fertility requirements, she can also undergo tubal reversal surgery, but there is a certain chance of failure in tubal reversal surgery, after which the woman may lose her fertility. Therefore, careful consideration should be made before tubal ligation is performed, and other forms of contraception, such as intrauterine devices and condoms, can be used.
