Sterilization is used all over the world by many different people. There are multiple ways of having sterilization done but the two that are used most frequently are, tubal sterilization and vasectomy. A vasectomy is one of the options a man has and a tubal sterilization is an option for women. There are many different ways tubal sterilization can be accomplished. It is extremely effective and in the United States surgical complications are low. With that being said, tubal sterilization is still a method that involves surgery, so there is still a danger. Women that chose a tubal sterilization may have a higher risk of serious side effects, more than a man has with a vasectomy. Pregnancies after a tubal sterilization can still occur, even many years after the procedure. It is not very likely, but if it does happen there is a high risk of ectopic gestation. Statistics confirm that a handful of tubal sterilization surgeries are performed shortly after a vaginal delivery mostly by minilaparotomy.

When young women choose tubal sterilization, they are more likely to regret having the surgery and will want to reverse it. In some cases, sterilization can be reversed but not all. It can vary by the type of sterilization performed.
