To assess the effect of tubal sterilization on the risk of hysterectomy, we studied 7414 women aged 20 to 49 years who had had a tubal sterilization at a health maintenance organization between January 1, 1968, and December 31, 1983. Compared with a population-based cohort of nonsterilized women, women sterilized while 20 to 29 years old were 3.4 times more likely to have had a subsequent hysterectomy (95% confidence interval, 2.4 to 4.7). Adjustment for the effects of potential confounders with a subset of 276 women did not appreciably alter this association. For multivariate comparisons with 5323 wives of vasectomized men, there was no significant elevation in the risk of hysterectomy following sterilization among women sterilized while 20 to 29 years old. Tubal sterilization was not associated with hysterectomy for married women who underwent tubal sterilization at age 30 or older. These results do not support a biological basis for the relationship between tubal sterilization and hysterectomy.

Female sterilization by tubal ligation is a very common method of birth control. A relationship between tubal sterilization and subsequent development of menstrual disorders has been described in the literature but a biological mechanism explaining such an association has not yet been demonstrated. The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of tubal ligation by the Pomeroy technique on ovarian and uterine artery blood flow using pre- and post-surgical Doppler assessments. We studied prospectively 20 patients undergoing laparotomy for tubal ligation. All patients had a Doppler blood flow assessment before and after surgery, conducted in the mid-follicular phase of their cycle. The pulsatility index (PI) of the right uterine artery ranged from 1.44 to 3.86 (mean 2. 23) when measured prior to surgery and from 1.36 to 2.85 (mean 2.13) when measured after surgery. In the left uterine artery, the PI ranged from 1.67 to 3.17 (mean 2.17) and from 1.69 to 2.88 (mean 2. 22) before and after surgery respectively. The difference was not statistically significant. The PI of the right ovarian artery ranged from 1.38 to 3.48 (mean 2.41) prior to surgery and from 1.48 to 3.23 (mean 2.29) after surgery. In the left ovarian artery, the PI ranged from 1.36 to 3.62 (mean 2.54) and from 1.85 to 4.00 (mean 2.61) before and after surgery respectively. Again, the difference was not statistically significant. Our results suggest that tubal sterilization performed by Pomeroy's technique does not induce immediate alterations in the vascular flow of either ovarian or uterine arteries.
