Women who have had a sterilization are more likely to get gynecological diseases

However, the cost of raising children is too high nowadays, and many young couples cannot afford it, so the second-child plan has been temporarily shelved. However, no matter how careful you are or how good your contraceptive method is, accidents can still happen. At this time, some girls will choose sterilization as a contraceptive measure. But is vasectomy really safe? Are women who have a sterilization more likely to get gynecological diseases? Let’s take a look below.

1. Increase the probability of gynecological diseases

Some statistical analyses have highlighted that the probability of requiring a hysterectomy due to gynecological problems after a sterilization procedure is higher than the general population. There are also cases where women experience increased menstrual bleeding after sterilization, irregular bleeding during menstruation, sexual problems with couples, emotional instability, and aggravation of premenstrual syndrome.

2. Discomfort during surgery

The most common side effects during the operation include nausea, vomiting, pain, and back pain. Due to insufficient analgesia and the patient's fear and anxiety, local pain is caused during the abdominal insertion process; pain caused by technical or equipment reduction in the case of a retroverted uterus; soreness and pain in the waist when lifting the fallopian tubes with a lifting hook or clamping the fallopian tubes; nausea and retching caused by accidental stimulation of the uterus and ovaries; upper abdominal pain or nausea and vomiting caused by stretching and irritation of the greater omentum and mesentery; non-cooperation or poor coordination of a small number of patients, or incomplete tube finding and lifting caused by excessive obesity, and even repeated searching, which increases the psychological burden on patients, causing or aggravating local pain and other discomforts.

3. Wound infection

The wound of female sterilization surgery is much larger than that of male sterilization surgery, so the risk of wound infection will also arise. Some women lack awareness of sterility, put their fingers into the medical dressings and feel itchy, have poor awareness of hygiene, and accidentally contaminate the wound medical dressings with sweat, urine, milk stains, etc., which can easily cause wound infection.

4. Causes irregular menstruation

Many women had normal menstruation before they had a sterilization operation. However, after the vasectomy, there will be irregular menstrual cycles, excessive or insufficient menstrual flow, as well as dysmenorrhea, amenorrhea, and scanty menstrual blood flow. This is called "menstrual disorder after vasectomy."
