3 important things parents should know about female sterilisation

Sterilisation is a safe and highly effective method of contraception. It is a simple procedure and does not affect physical or sexual health. However, the timing of sterilisation is very important, especially when the procedure is done after giving birth.

What is female sterilisation?

• It is a procedure to tie the fallopian tubes in order to block them, so that the egg has no chance of coming into direct contact with sperm. As a result, fertilisation cannot happen and the woman will not become pregnant.
• The ovaries, uterus and cervix remain intact and keep working normally.

Does female sterilisation have any side effects?

• Many parents think female sterilisation affects women's health. Does it affect female hormones? Does it reduce sex drive? In fact, it does not!
• As mentioned above, female sterilisation means tying the fallopian tubes; the ovaries and uterus are fully preserved
• That is why you will still have periods as usual, and your hormones will keep working just as they did before sterilisation.
• So the quality of your sex life is not affected in any way by having your tubes tied.
• You can therefore feel completely reassured about the safety of female sterilisation; everything in your body will carry on working normally.

Who can have female sterilisation?

To have female sterilisation, you must meet the following requirements:

• Over 30 years old
• Have at least 2 healthy children
• The second child is over 3 years old
• Voluntarily choose a permanent, irreversible method of contraception after full counselling
