Tubal Reversal And The Menstrual Cycle

Patients of Dr. Gary Berger and members of the Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center Message Board discuss whether tubal reversal surgery can be performed while a patient is having her menses. Dr. Berger can perform the tubal reversal surgery at any time during a patient’s cycle. If a patient would like to plan around their menses then a good time to plan surgery would be within a week or two of ending their period. Dr. Berger often can see signs of ovulation on the ovaries during the tubal reversal surgery and will pass this information along to the patient.
