Impact of tubal sterilization and vasectomy on female marital sexuality: results of a controlled longitudinal study

Article Abstract:

Surgical sterilization is the most popular method of contraception for married women and for who at one time were married. Despite the high rate of usage of this method, the long-term effects, particularly on female sexuality, have not been well studied. Of particular interest are the effects on coital frequency and female sexual desire and satisfaction. To evaluate changes in these factors as a result of sterilization, 152 women who underwent sterilization were compared with 106 women whose husbands had vasectomies and also with 83 women who did not plan to be sterilized. There was no difference among the three groups over a five-year period in sexual satisfaction. Among all three groups a slight, but significant, decrease in sexual satisfaction, frequency of coital desire, and coital frequency was reported. Decreases tended to be larger in women married for the shortest time. Short-term differences were found; sterilized women in the first year after the procedure had a significant increase in coital frequency, while women not planning sterilization had a large decrease in coital frequency. This was followed by a significant decrease in frequency among the sterilized women in the second year, so that levels were then similar among groups. The reasons underlying these differences remain to be elucidated. This study suggests that no detrimental effects on female marital sexuality result from sterilization.
