The author reflects on her struggle with infertility, the fear of postpartum depression, and the decision to have a tubal ligation after her second child's birth. She discusses the emotional complexity of the choice, the relief it brings, and the regained agency over her body. The author emphasizes the need for better support for women after childbirth and highlights the financial burden of both having a baby and preventing pregnancy.
Women who undergo hysterectomies, oophorectomies, or tubal ligations are at an increased risk for cardiovascular disease, according to a recent study. The risk may be most significant for women under 50 years of age who undergo hysterectomies and oophorectomies. The study highlights the importance of careful discussion and research before undergoing these surgical procedures.
