The most important serious side effect is the "REGRET" as this is a permanent contraception. Reversal is extremely difficult and expensive procedure; so is the Invitro Fertilisation(IVF) techniques.
Apart from this, there are some intraoperative complications reported; but with advancement in medical sciences, these are rare.
Sterilisation failure is very less and comparable to long term hormonal contraceptives.
The other serious complication is ectopic pregnancy but that is also a rare one.
You can discuss the above points with your caregiver and family before taking an informed decision. Thanks.
