Best Answer

The eggs released by your ovaries travel down the fallopian tubes and attach themselves to the lining of the womb waiting to be fertilized by sperm cells. As a hysterectomy removes the uterus (womb), the eggs have nowhere to attach themselves. Also, since the cervix is closed, then the sperm can't get in, thus no pregnancy.

Can you get your ovaries and uterus taken out instead of a tubal ligation without any medical issues to prevent pregnancy?

If you have your ovaries and uterus removed to prevent pregnancy then you will need hormone replacement therapy, as essentially your body will assume you have gone through the menopause and wont produce the female hormones you need to have as a woman.This will not only prevent pregnancy, but you will NEVER be able to get pregnant if these are removed. This is called a hysterectomy and is only performed if there is cancer, fiberous tissue, or some other problem. A good doctor will not perform this on a young woman to prevent pregnancy. This is like killing a fly with a atomic bomb.

A hysterectomy is the surgical removal of the uterus. Removal of the uterus renders the woman unable to bear children. So if you have had a hysterectomy the chances of you getting pregnant is 0%. It is impossible. Sorry.
