This is correct. - Hysterectomy doesn't usually occur unless there is some medical reason for the removal of the uterus. SOMEtimes they remove all the reproductive parts including the ovaries but that's only for a medical reason. Yes it is a sure way of preventing pregnancy. Many insurance companies won't pay for a hysterectomy for Birth Control alone - there usually has to be other reasons.

The marks you describe sound likely that she is truely "fixed" by tubal ligation. The entry points can be either just above the mons and from the belly button or off to the side above the hip bone like you say she has a mark. Since she is young it may depend on how long ago she had the surgery how clear the marks are. I had a C-section 3 years ago and now there is just a pink line where the incision was made. When it was only a year or so old though it was still tender to the touch or to pulling. It also would itch like crazy. Ligation isn't 100% fool proof but more sure than any other form of Birth control like condoms or pills.

I couldn't help but chuckle when I read that some of you said that a girl getting fixed is a vasectomy or a hysterectomy is only removal of the ovaries.
