| Descripción: | Tubectomy has been known as the most appropriate method for women who had decided to stop conceiving. Some argue that it may improve their quality of life; on the other hand some say it may cause physical, psychological and mental problems due to increased incidence of dysmenorrhea or other post-tubectomy syndrome. This study aimed to compare the physical health, mental health and sexual function between tubectomy acceptors with non-tubectomy. A cross-sectional study was conducted of 198 people, distributed equally between tubectomy and non-tubectomy groups who met the inclusion criteria. The research was conducted in the Kiarapedes District Purwakarta in February 2013. The Short Form 36 (SF-36) questionnaire was used to measure the dimensions of physical and mental health, while the Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI) was used to measure sexual function dimensions. In physical health dimensions the scores obtained from the tubectomy group had a median score 80(28-88) compared to 78(36-93) in the non-tubectomy group. The median scores on mental health dimensions were 73(30-88) in the tubectomy group vs 76(23 - 88) in the non-tubectomy group. Mann Whitney U test showed no significant differences in the dimensions of physical health (p = 0.600) or mental health (p = 0.678). However, their sexual function dimensions median scores showed significant difference, i.e 76(23-92) vs 71(13-91), p = 0.01 in the tubectomy vs the non-tubectomy group. Tubectomy acceptors had reported better sexual function than the non-tubectomy group. Measures of sexual function included increased desire, arousal, lubrication, orgasm and satisfaction. Findings in relation to physical and mental health were the same for both the tubectomy and non-tubectomy gorups. Reference: Malhotra, N., Chanana, C., & Garg, P. (2007).
