Abstract Many women identify sterilisation as their preferred form of contraception. Introduction In , Holly Brockwell wrote an article in the Guardian newspaper about her struggle to be sterilised Brockwell What is Sterilisation? Footnote 2 Consider a woman in her late 20s who has a strong, persistent desire for a child-free life.
Can Denied Sterilisation Requests be Justified? Footnote 5 Withholding sterilisation is appropriate if the patient is not a legal adult or if she is being coerced into requesting it. Footnote 7 However, can there be good reasons to deny sterilisation requests from decision-competent women who understand the nature and implications of sterilisation and have a strong, abiding preference not to have any more children?
Footnote 15 Finally, women often experience sterilisation as significantly improving their well-being. Footnote 20 A final issue to consider is how to balance the principles of beneficence and respect for patient autonomy.
Footnote 24 It is also important to consider VS in relation to the prominence of pronatalism within society. Notes 1. My thanks to an anonymous reviewer for making this point.

You will not have to think about preventing pregnancy when you have sex, so it does not interrupt your sex life. It does not affect your hormone levels and you will still have periods. There's a small risk of complication, such as internal bleeding or infection. You must use some form of contraception before the surgery and until your first period following the surgery.
There's a small risk the operation will not work blocked tubes can rejoin. If the operation fails, there is an increased risk of a fertilised egg implanting outside the womb ectopic pregnancy. Removing part of your tube cannot be reversed, so you need to be sure it's right for you. You should use condoms. How female sterilisation works Female tubal sterilisation works by preventing sperm from travelling down the fallopian tubes.
The ovaries will still release eggs, but they will absorb naturally into your body. Sterilisation operation The operation happens under general anaesthetic you are asleep.
They then use a slim tool with a light and camera a laparoscope to see your fallopian tubes. A laparoscopy is common because it's: easier on the woman a day procedure and does not take as long as other surgeries quicker to recover from A surgeon will block your fallopian tubes tubal occlusion by either: applying plastic or titanium clips over the fallopian tubes pulling a small loop of the fallopian tube through a silicone ring, then clamping it shut tying, cutting and removing a small piece of the fallopian tube This is a minor operation and many women return home the same day.
Removing the tubes If blocking the fallopian tubes hasn't worked, the tubes may be completely removed. Choosing sterilisation Only consider sterilisation if you do not want any more children and after you discussed all options, including male vasectomy with your doctor.
Consider all options before you decide. Before the operation Your GP may recommend counselling before referring you for sterilisation.
