There is provided a method for controlling a flow of eggs in a uterine
tube formed by a uterine tube wall of a patient. The method comprises
gently constricting (i.e., without substantially hampering the blood
circulation in the uterine tube wall) at least one portion of the uterine
tube wall to influence the flow of eggs in the uterine tube, and
stimulating the constricted wall portion to cause contraction of the
uterine tube wall portion to further influence the flow of eggs in the
uterine tube. The method can be used for restricting or stopping the flow
of eggs in the uterine tube, or for actively moving the fluid in the
uterine tube, with a low risk of injuring the uterine tube.
