The Negatives of Sterilisation
There remains a small risk throughout the surgery, if using general anaesthetic. The procedure can also go wrong with some instances of damage to the womb, bowel and urinary organs during the surgery. Despite the permanent nature of the process, there remains a small 0.5% risk of the surgery proving unsuccessful. Periods have been noted as heavier after the operation, but this is rare. Nowadays, it is becoming increasingly difficult to get the surgery done on the NHS with private clinics offering the procedure for around one thousand five hundred pounds which prices many out of it. It is also important to realize that the procedure is permanent and offers little way back for any women that may change their opinions on child birth. The only real hope is IVF treatment which while readily available can prove costly and offers no guarantee of success.
