Abstract

Background: Postpartum sterilization is a type of female sterilization (permanent method) performed as a surgical procedure after vaginal delivery or during cesarean section. It is a method of choice for couples who have completed their families. This study was conducted to study trends and various sociodemographic factors affecting postpartum sterilization. A Methods: prospective study of 234 cases of postpartum sterilization performed over a period of six months from July 2022 to December 2022. Results: 234 patients opted for sterilization procedures. 190 patients had undergone cesarean tubectomy and 44 patients had undergone tubal ligation following vaginal delivery. Maximum number of patients belonged in 25-29year age group(40%). 82% of patients belonged to lower socio-economic status and only 6% of patients had all female live issues. Conclusion: Misconceptions regarding the procedure, low awareness and various cultural and religious factors play a major role regarding acceptance of postpartum sterilization
