FSFI score and timing of tubal ligation in patients: preliminary results of an online survey
INTRODUCTION: Tubal ligation is the most common contraceptive method worldwide. Apart from a very low pearl index and anxiety relief, other benefits are not commonly recognised. In young patients, there is the post-operative risk of regretting the decision with the need for In-Vitro-Fertilisation or...

description | INTRODUCTION: Tubal ligation is the most common contraceptive method worldwide. Apart from a very low pearl index and anxiety relief, other benefits are not commonly recognised. In young patients, there is the post-operative risk of regretting the decision with the need for In-Vitro-Fertilisation or refertilising surgery. Positive side effects have not been widely published. In our study we investigated the change in the female sexual function index score after tubal ligation. MATERIAL AND METHOD: In this survey the FSFI score of participants around the time of the tubal ligation was compared with the FSFI score of intermediate and long-term time distance to the ligation. RESULTS: The data indicate an increase in younger women seeking information on permanent contraception and whilst the FSFI score of the early group indicates a risk of female sexual dysfunction, the intermediate and long-term FSFI scores are comparable to published control groups. DISCUSSION: Besides the obvious benefit of a low pearl index, tubal ligation may contribute to reduce the risk of female sexual dysfunction in the mid and long term. Informed consent is essential for the surgeon and patient to weigh up the risks and benefits individually including possible future perspectives on family planning. |
