What Is The Side Effects Of Getting Sterilized At The Age Of 24?

I am almost 24 years old and I would like to get sterilized. I am married now for two years and me and my husband are 100% positive we do not want children. He tried to get sterilized but his doctor said no because we are too young. I am tired of having to remember taking pills and the pills have really affected my mental health. They make me depressed and they have also caused weight gain. Is it possible to find a doctor who would sterilize me at age 24?

Hello,
Thanks for sharing your health concern with us. In the current scenario, I would ask you to go for some other mode of temporary contraception, like an implant or an IUD. This is because, if your thoughts change in future and if both of you wish to have children, you still have a chance. You need not continue with the oral contraceptive pills if you find it difficult to use them. I am not sure any competent doctor would agree for such an early sterilization, without any children, for no medical reason. Hope this helps.
