Psychological Effects
Most people undergoing sterilization experience no change in sexual activity, quality of marital relationships or work-related behavior. Few regret their choice. Risk factors for negative consequences after sterilization include:
- being coerced into the procedure
- lacking understanding of the consequences of the procedure
- having health complications after the procedure
- having an unstable marriage, as it increases the risk of divorce followed by a new relationship in which the couple desires to have children
- disagreeing with partner about the decision to perform sterilization

Famous quotes containing the word effects:
“One of the effects of a safe and civilised life is an immense oversensitiveness which makes all the primary emotions somewhat disgusting. Generosity is as painful as meanness, gratitude as hateful as ingratitude.”
—George Orwell (1903–1950)
