    Female sterilization is a common contraceptive. Long-term risks like ectopic pregnancy after sterilization are underestimated, as shown by three cases occurring long after the procedure.

    Area of Science:

    • Reproductive Health
    • Contraception
    • Gynecology

    Background:

    • Female sterilization is a widely used global contraceptive method.
    • Available as interval, postabortal, or postpartum procedures.
    • Short-term complications are well-documented.

    Observation:

    • Long-term complication data, particularly ectopic pregnancy, are less reliable due to diminishing follow-up rates.
    • Presents three cases of tubal pregnancy occurring long after interval sterilization.

    Findings:

    • Ectopic pregnancies can occur years after female sterilization.
    • The assumption of no long-term risks is potentially dangerous.

    Implications:

    • Highlights the need for continued vigilance regarding long-term contraceptive side effects.
