Menstrual, psychosexual, psychological and somatic sequelae following postpartum sterilisation.

This study was designed to investigate the menstrual, psychosexual, psychological and somatic sequelae in a group of women who may be more prone to express regret following sterilisation. They were at a younger age, and all underwent postpartum sterilisation. The follow-up was conducted by a questionnaire between 6 months and 5 years following the procedure. Data were available from 242 patients with 76.8% before age 30, and 23.2% age 30 or older. Of all the patients, 21.9% regretted their choice of sterilisation. About one-third had various menstrual cycle disturbances. In general, patients rated their sex life more enjoyable in many aspects. The two most common psychological symptoms were irritability, nervousness and depression. The common somatic symptoms were pelvic/ abdominal pain, backache and tiredness. A complete assessment of the patient's postoperative condition, including menstrual cycle history, sexual history, psychological and somatic complaints if any, is warranted during presterilisation counselling in addition to a routine informed consent. This is especially important for those patients who are known to be more prone to express regret following the procedure.

Term pregnancy after fallopian tube transposition.

A 28-year-old woman suffered from pelvic pain and secondary infertility. She previously had right salpingo-oophorectomy because of ruptured right cornual EP. She was found to have a normal appearing left fallopian tube that entered into a noncommunicating residual horn of the uterus. Microsurgical transposition of the left tube and tubouterine implantation was performed successfully. For cases in which tubocornual anastomosis of the transposed tube is impossible because of previous cornual resection, our technique remains an option.
