After Hysterectomy
- Total hysterectomy (uterus removed): Pregnancy impossible.
- Partial hysterectomy (uterus partially removed): Rare pregnancy possible if functional ovarian tissue remains and an egg is fertilized.
After Tubal Ligation
Considered permanent, but failure rate is very low. Pregnancy can occur if tubes recanalize or scar tissue doesn’t fully block them.
