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:
“Trade and commerce, if they were not made of India-rubber, would never manage to bounce over the obstacles which legislators are continually putting in their way; and, if one were to judge these men wholly by the effects of their actions and not partly by their intentions, they would deserve to be classed and punished with those mischievous persons who put obstructions on the railroads.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
