Emotional Reaction to Interval and Postpartum Sterilization

A study was carried out to compare the emotional reaction of Thai women to interval and postpartum sterilization. Two groups of 150 women each were matched for similar characteristic features. They were assessed using group discussion techniques under the supervision of a woman psychiatrist. Results of this study showed that the incidences of psychophysiologic and emotional symptoms, as evaluated 12 months postoperatively, were 41.3% in the interval group and 42.0% in the postpartum group. Psychologic sequelae of sterilization were not related to the time of sterilization. A majority of the reported symptoms were mild and related most frequently to poor personal background, previous psychiatric disorders and marital or economic problems.
