Når kvinder fortryder sterilisation
Sammanfattning
Regret of sterilization is inversely correlated to age at the time of sterilization. The minimum age for legal sterilization in
Denmark has recently been lowered to 18 years. In Denmark surgical refertilization has almost completely been replaced by in
vitro fertilization (IVF). In recent literature pregnancy results after surgical refertilization are easily comparable to IVF.
Refertilization may in some cases be advantageous to IVF treatment. Women requesting reversal of sterilization should be
offered individualized evaluation and differentiated treatment. It is recommended that surgical refertilization is performed at very
few centres.
