What effects does sterilization have on women’s bodies?

The so-called female sterilization is to tie the fallopian tubes through certain means. In this way, the female's eggs cannot be discharged normally, so pregnancy can be avoided. What everyone needs to know is that female sterilization is like a minor operation. Any operation will be dangerous. Female sterilization may cause the following harm to the body.

1. If you don’t really want to have a vasectomy or are young and don’t think much about it, experts say that the chances of problems occurring after the vasectomy may actually be higher.

2. Sexual life is affected, the main manifestation of which is decreased sexual desire and unwillingness to have sex.

3. Irregular menstruation

Many women have normal menstruation before having tubal ligation. However, after tubal ligation, menstrual cycle disorders, excessive or insufficient menstrual flow, dysmenorrhea, amenorrhea, and oligomenorrhea may occur. This is called "menstrual disorder after tubal ligation."

4. During the ligation operation, some blood vessels entering the ovaries may be damaged.

The hormones from the pituitary gland that stimulate the ovaries may decrease, so the ovaries will not work normally, which may cause harm to female sterilization surgery.

5. Some statistics indicate that the chance of needing a hysterectomy due to gynecological problems after a sterilization operation is higher than for the general population.

6. Women will experience the following emotional changes after tubal ligation:

The patient is nervous and anxious, easily irritable and often loses temper, and suffers from memory loss. There is a pessimistic and melancholic mood, manifested as depressed thoughts, silence, low mood, accompanied by poor appetite, weight loss, decreased libido, increased heart rate and other symptoms.

7. Irregular bleeding between periods

This is due to the rupture of the follicle and the fluctuation of estrogen, which cannot maintain the growth of the endometrium, causing local ulceration and shedding of the surface layer of the endometrium, resulting in a small amount of breakthrough bleeding. This is the phenomenon of ovulation bleeding. After ovulation, the follicle quickly turns into a corpus luteum, which can secrete a certain amount of estrogen and progesterone, which can quickly repair the ruptured endometrium, and the bleeding will stop automatically. Therefore, the amount of bleeding during ovulation is generally very small, and it will stop automatically after a few hours or days. No treatment is required.
