Female Sterilisation in London — Laparoscopic
Consultant-led · day surgery · Harley Street, London
Female sterilisation is permanent contraception that blocks or removes the fallopian tubes so eggs and sperm can't meet. At Minor Surgery UK a consultant gynaecologist performs it by keyhole surgery in London, from £3,195, under general anaesthetic. Most women return to normal activity within a few days.
What the procedure involves
Through small incisions, the fallopian tubes are blocked with clips or removed (salpingectomy), which also lowers ovarian cancer risk. It is a permanent method of contraception.
Is it right for you?
Sterilisation suits women who are certain they don't want future pregnancies. Because it is permanent and difficult to reverse, your consultant will talk through alternatives and make sure it's the right choice.
Recovery
Most women return to normal activity within a few days, with mild discomfort and bloating settling quickly.
Cost
Female sterilisation starts from £3,195 all-inclusive (medical procedure — VAT-exempt).
