Evaluation of regret after tubal sterilization.
Many different criteria and profiles have been suggested for the possible cause of regret and requests for reversal after tubal sterilization. Evaluation of data obtained from 2253 women who had undergone tubal sterilization showed a strong correlation between regrets and youthful age and to changes in marital situation. Previously demonstrated risk factors, such as sterilization in connection with abortion or labor were not related to regret in this study material.
