Description

There are a number of factors you should consider before deciding whether female sterilization is the right contraceptive method for you. As with any method of contraception, you should first talk to your health care provider or a counselor at your local clinic or hospital before seriously considering female sterilization. This is particularly important for both male and female sterilization, since the effects are meant to be permanent.
