Why might surgical family planning methods be risky if not done correctly?
Question

Why might surgical family planning methods be risky if not done correctly?

A.

They can lead to infections or complications

B.

They might prevent ovulation.

C.

They may cause hormonal side effects.

D.

They can increase fertility.

Correct option is A

Correct option: (a), They can lead to infections or complications.

Here are some potential risks:

  1. Infection:  Any surgical procedure carries a risk of infection. If proper sterilization techniques and post-operative care are not followed, there is a risk of bacterial infection at the surgical site or in internal organs.
  2. . Damage to Surrounding Organs or Tissues:  During the surgery, there is a chance that surrounding organs or tissues may be accidentally damaged. For example, in tubal ligation, there is a small risk of damaging the fallopian tubes, ovaries, or other pelvic organs.
  3. Hemorrhage (Excessive Bleeding):  Surgical procedures, particularly those involving the reproductive system, can sometimes lead to excessive bleeding. If bleeding isn't controlled, it could result in severe blood loss, requiring further medical intervention.
  4. Anesthesia Risks:  Like any surgery, family planning procedures require anesthesia, which can have complications, particularly for individuals with allergies or reactions to anesthesia agents.
  5. Ectopic Pregnancy (Post-Tubal Ligation):  While sterilization methods are highly effective at preventing pregnancy, if a pregnancy does occur after a tubal ligation, there is a higher risk of an ectopic pregnancy (where the embryo implants outside the uterus, usually in the fallopian tube), which can be life-threatening if not treated.
  6. Regret and Psychological Effects:Some individuals may experience regret or psychological distress after the procedure, especially if they change their mind about having children in the future. While the procedure is intended to be permanent, some may later seek reversal, which can be complicated and not always successful.
  7.   Complications from Reversal Procedures:  In cases where an individual desires to reverse the sterilization procedure, surgical complications can arise. For example, tubal ligation reversal or vasectomy reversal may not always be successful and can involve additional surgical risks.
