Psychological Effects
Most people undergoing sterilization experience no change in sexual activity, quality of marital relationships or work-related behavior. Few regret their choice. Risk factors for negative consequences after sterilization include:
- being coerced into the procedure
- lacking understanding of the consequences of the procedure
- having health complications after the procedure
- having an unstable marriage, as it increases the risk of divorce followed by a new relationship in which the couple desires to have children
- disagreeing with partner about the decision to perform sterilization

Famous quotes containing the word effects:
“Upon the whole, necessity is something, that exists in the mind, not in objects; nor is it possible for us ever to form the most distant idea of it, consider’d as a quality in bodies. Either we have no idea of necessity, or necessity is nothing but that determination of thought to pass from cause to effects and effects to causes, according to their experienc’d union.”
—David Hume (1711–1776)
