1Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Herlev Hospital, University of Copenhagen, Denmark.
Abstract:
A follow-up study with questionnaires was performed 4-8 years after laparoscopic sterilization. The follow-up questionnaires were answered for 90.5%. The study revealed that 7.1% of the women were dissatisfied at some stage with the decision to undergo sterilization. However, only 1.8% requested reversal of the sterilization. 40% of the dissatisfied women were between 25-29 years of age, and every fifth sterilized woman in this age group regretted the sterilization.
