A new family planning agenda focusing on voluntary acceptance of family planning evolved in the 1980s following the political fallout over the coercive sterilization program of the Emergency. 4 During this era, method acceptance shifted from male sterilization to female sterilization. This shift is largely explained by the development of laparoscopic techniques for female sterilization; misconceptions and concerns about the side effects of vasectomy, such as loss of strength and libido; and the development of women-centered programs, such as the Reproductive and Child Health program. 5 Also driving the change was the 1991 implementation of a centrally sponsored incentive scheme to encourage eligible men and women to accept sterilization. According to this scheme, women undergoing tubectomy were eligible to receive 300 rupees (Rs.) and men undergoing vasectomy were eligible to get Rs. 200. 6 This was revised in 2006, and women opting for sterilization were eligible for Rs. 600 and men undergoing vasectomy were eligible for Rs. of the family planning program, the rhythm method was the only birth control method recommended by the government. Because of the high rates of failure for this method, in 1956 the government began to offer condoms, diaphragms and spermicidal jelly 2 to couples free of charge through hospitals, health centers and birth control clinics, and this "clinic approach" continued until the 1960s. In the 1960s, to further motivate couples to accept family planning, the government adopted an "extension approach," and the IUD and vaginal foam tablets were introduced. This new approach included an educational component designed to bring about changes in the knowledge, attitudes and behavior of people in regard to family planning. Male and female sterilization were introduced in 1966, and the government established method-specific targets for health workers to achieve. 3 To accelerate the pace of fertility decline, the government introduced cash incentives to attract sterilization acceptors in 1967. During the Indian Emergency (1975Emergency ( -1977, in response to the unprecedented population growth of the 1960s documented in the 1971 census report, aggressive sterilization camps were held all over the country and about 8.3 million sterilizations were carried out. However, approximately 75% of the procedures were vascetomies.

“…With the growing tendency of younger women (who are more likely to experience regret) to request tubal sterilization [66,67], overall incidence of post-sterilization regret may increase further. A tubal sterilization is essentially permanent, and reversal is expensive, technically difficult, and often not successful; the regret can be long-lasting and distressful.…”

A review of safety, efficacy, pros and cons, and issues of puerperal tubal sterilization — an update

1995

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

This review focuses on the safety, efficacy, pros and cons of tubal sterilization procedures performed during the puerperium period while the woman is still in hospital. Findings from four previous reviews are synthesized, and the results published in more recent literature are evaluated. The review finds that tubal sterilization performed while the woman is still on the delivery table, or during a woman's early puerperium while she remains hospitalized, is operationally easy and medically safe, and does not adversely affect lactation. However, reported pregnancy rates are generally higher in puerperal tubal sterilization than in interval sterilization, especially when the mechanical tubal occlusion technique is used. The Pomeroy method, and its modifications via minilaparotomy, is highly recommendable. On the other hand, electrocoagulation via laparoscopy is associated with high efficacy, but a potentially increased risk of complications and difficulties in tubal reversal. Tubal sterilizations can be easily and safely performed at cesarean delivery in selected cases. Tubal sterilization performed during puerperium has a number of advantages over short-acting contraceptive methods, which require strict compliance, for postpartum use. However, candidates for puerperal tubal sterilization need to be carefully screened and counseled, since post-sterilization regret is more likely to occur. Unsettled issues for puerperal tubal sterilization and a number of practical problems that need to be addressed before initiation of a puerperal tubal sterilization program in a maternity clinic/hospital are discussed.

“…This is alarming because both regret (Henshaw and Singh 1986;Marcil-Gratton 1988;Remez 1991) and negative consequences (Warehime et al 2007) have been found associated with this procedure. Despite studies that point to caution, American women overall have increasingly opted for tubal ligation surgery in recent decades (MacKay et al 2001).…”
