[Experiences with definitive contraception--results of a follow-up study of sterilized women]

Abstract:
Within the framework of a retrospective analysis, 96 patients who had undergone sterilisation at the Department of Gynaecology at the University of Cologne between 1988 and 1991, had been questioned as to whether they were content about their former decision in favour of a definitive contraception. At present, 94% of these women fully agreed with their former decision. The circumstances influencing the decision for sterilisation before the operation i.e. age, number of children, motivation, situation between partners, date of operation and medical consultation - were compared to those of a number of sterilised women seeking refertilization. We want to stress the importance of a sufficiently long decision process, accompanied by individual medical consultation.
