What else is important to know about tubal sterilization?
Tubal sterilization is a safe and effective method of contraception. Tubal sterilization is a permanent form of contraception, and should therefore only be considered by those who no longer wish to bear children. Couples who are considering a permanent form of contraception may wish to also consider other permanent options, including vasectomy, or highly effective but not permanent options, such as an interuterine device (IUD).
