My tubes are tied - am I in menopause?

Question:

 

Do you go through menopause when you tie your tubes? I’ve heard yes and no on this question.

Answer:

 

The only medical procedure that is guaranteed to instigate menopause is having your ovaries removed, or having medical treatments – radiation, for example – that cause your ovaries to stop functioning. Having your tubes tied will prevent eggs from entering the uterus, but won’t stop the ovaries from producing hormones.
