Menstruation is a woman's normal monthly menstrual period. But what are the signs of abnormal periods? When is vaginal bleeding serious?...

Q: Non-surgical tube tying?

A friend of mine told me his g/f is going to get her 'tubes tied" but without surgery-that there is a permanent way of doing this medicinally. That is all the information I have.

Anyone ever heard of this?

Thanks!

YES.

There is a type of sterilization called "Quinacrine sterilization". (QS)

Quinacrine, which is an antibiotic, is placed into the uterus through a modified IUD inserter.

Quinacrine causes scar tissue to build up inside of the fallopian tubes.

QS is not as effective as normal sterilzation, and questions remain on the carcinogenic qualities of Quinacrine, further studies are happening now.

Thank you Carifairy; do you know if it is 100% effective? Do you think a young woman of 23 without children would be able to have this procedure done? It is expensive?

Thank you!
