Women who undergo tubal ligation before the age of 30 appear to have a high risk of regretting the procedure.
A change in marital status and the desire to have a child with a new partner is the overwhelming reason these women regret tubal ligation and request in vitro ferilisation (IVF), according to researchers from the Midwifery Research Unit, Hornsby Hospital, in Hornsby, New South Wales, Australia.
If changing partners cannot always be anticipated, there are other factors that point to a need for some women considering tubal ligation to receive special cautioning and counselling, the researchers report.
This case control study aimed to identify and describe pre-sterilisation characteristics most consistently linked with intensive later regret and IVF request. Participants included 97 sterilised women who underwent evaluation for IVF between 1986 and 1996 and 101 sterilised women who remained satisfied with their decision to have tubal ligation.
