    Area of Science:

    • Reproductive Health
    • Surgical Outcomes
    • Patient Satisfaction

    Background:

    • Tubal occlusion is a common method of female sterilization.
    • Assessing long-term patient outcomes and satisfaction is crucial for reproductive health services.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the medical and psychological outcomes of tubal occlusion sterilization over a two-year period.
    • To identify factors associated with patient satisfaction and the development of psychosomatic symptoms.

    Main Methods:

    • Prospective study involving 94 patients undergoing tubal occlusion.
    • Interviews conducted at hospitalization and at scheduled follow-up intervals for two years.

    Main Results:

    • No serious medical or psychological complications reported.

  • High overall patient satisfaction (97%) at two years post-procedure.
  • Psychosomatic symptoms observed, more pronounced and persistent in younger patients.

    • Conclusions:

    • Tubal occlusion demonstrates a high safety and efficacy profile with excellent patient satisfaction.
    • Preoperative counseling is essential, particularly for younger patients, to address concerns about permanence and manage potential psychosomatic symptoms.
    • Understanding patient expectations and providing clear information on the procedure's irreversibility can mitigate negative psychological responses.
