    Area of Science:

    • Reproductive Health
    • Family Planning
    • Obstetrics

    Background:

    • Requests for immediate postpartum sterilization are common.
    • Timely contraception is crucial for family planning.
    • Permanent sterilization requires careful consideration.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the impact of a 3-month waiting period on postpartum sterilization uptake.
    • To assess the acceptability and effectiveness of temporary postpartum contraception.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective review of 75 women requesting immediate postpartum sterilization.
    • Analysis of sterilization completion rates after a 3-month delay.
    • Assessment of depot medroxyprogesterone acetate use and side effects.

    Main Results:

    • Only 64 out of 75 women (85.3%) proceeded with sterilization after the 3-month waiting period.
    • Depot medroxyprogesterone acetate was used by some patients as temporary contraception.
    • Irregular bleeding occurred in approximately 25% of depot medroxyprogesterone acetate users.

    Conclusions:

    • A delay in sterilization allows for informed decision-making, potentially improving maternal mental well-being.
    • Temporary postpartum contraception is a viable option, though side effects like irregular bleeding need management.
