Risks of Salpingectomy
Studies show that when the tubes are removed for sterilization, hormone production levels of the ovaries don't seem to be affected much. However, if the tubes are removed due to ectopic pregnancy, removal may disrupt the hormone production.
Does removal of fallopian tubes affect hormones?
There is no known physiological benefit of retaining the post-reproductive Fallopian tube during hysterectomy or sterilization, especially as this does not affect ovarian hormone production.
What are the side effects of salpingectomy?
General risks and salpingectomy side effects are similar to many other surgical procedures and include abnormal bleeding, infection and blood clots. Another risk is injury to nearby organs such as the ovaries, uterus, bladder or intestines.
