Posted on Fri, 27 Jun 2014
Question: Hello, Thank you for your time. I thinking of having a tubectomy because I have hydrosalinx and I'm 40. I want to try to have a baby. Do you think a tubectomy or a plastic tube is better at this stage to ensure pregnancy?

Brief Answer:
No

Detailed Answer:
Hi

I read your query and I understand your concerns.

40 years is little higher border of reproductive age. It is difficult to conceive even with normal tubes.

Hence I suggest you get ovarian reserve tested by a good IVF centre and check if its worth it.

If less eggs are found please go ahead with IVF treatment straight away without wasting more time.

Let me know if you have any more questions.
