What is the eariest age a doctor will do tubal ligation?
There is no universal age requirement for tubal ligation procedures, as it is ultimately a decision between a woman and her healthcare provider. However, most doctors recommend waiting until a woman is at least 21 years of age before undergoing this procedure, as it is considered a permanent form of birth control and can have implications for future fertility. Some doctors may perform tubal ligation procedures on women under 21 if there are specific medical or personal reasons that make the procedure necessary. However, it is important for women to carefully consider the implications and alternatives before making a decision about tubal ligation, regardless of their age.
