Do You Still Get Periods When Sterilized?

Facts about female sterilisation
It does not affect your hormone levels and you'll still have periods. You'll need to use contraception up until you have the operation, and until your next period or for 3 months after the operation (depending on the type of sterilisation).

Does having your tubes tied affect your menstrual cycle?

Tubal ligation prevents an egg from traveling from the ovaries through the fallopian tubes and blocks sperm from traveling up the fallopian tubes to the egg. The procedure doesn't affect your menstrual cycle.

Does sterilisation cause heavy periods?

Your periods will continue to be as regular as they were before sterilisation. Occasionally, some women find that their periods become heavier.
