Tubal ligation reversal and In vitro fertilization

Tubal ligation reversal and in vitro fertilization are the two most popular techniques of infertility treatment. While the former restores fertility by reversing the surgery done for infertility, thus facilitating a chance for the woman to be pregnant naturally, the latter treats infertility by an in vitro process (i.e. not entirely naturally).

Tubal ligation reversal

In this method, the separated fallopian segments of a woman are rejoined and thus, the fertility in her is restored. This reversing of the tubal ligation surgery gives her a chance to be pregnant naturally. There are various medical procedures for tubal ligation reversal, however, the surgery warrants an expert surgeon as it’s a very delicate surgery.

In vitro fertilization or IVF

In this method, the egg cells (ova) are removed from a woman’s ovaries and are let to fertilize with a sperm in a fluid medium, outside the womb. The egg cells fertilized are transferred then on, to the uterus of the woman, thus, making way for a successful pregnancy.
