Abstract
Four hundred and twenty-five women replied to a questionnaire designed to assess social and psychological changes occurring after tubal sterilization. Dissatisfaction with the outcome of the operation was unrelated to patient age at the time of the operation, parity, religious affiliation and history of emotional instability. While the incidence of negative social and psychological changes was low, a substantial proportion of the sample reported positive effects, particularly in emotional and sexual adjustment.Keywords
