Is it safe to use an IUD if you have a tubal?

Answer 1

The 2 are independent of each other. Having a tubal does not change the risks of getting an IUD one way or another.

Some may wonder why would any woman want both? Some woman want to reduce the risk of pregnancy further. Keep in mind that the only way to have zero chance of pregnancy is no sex at all. No contraception is 100% effective. IUD may also provide a benefit that some woman want on top of the contraception, reduce or stop the monthly cycle.

Answer 2

Yes, you can use the IUD after tubal ligation. It may be useful to use a hormonal IUD after a tubal for control of painful or heavy periods. Talk with your health care provider to see if doing so may make sense in your caswe.
