Sterilization (medicine) - Psychological Effects

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
