A survey study published in Contraception found that adults without biological children who underwent permanent contraception reported satisfaction with their decision and low levels of regret. Reasons for seeking permanent contraception included not wanting children, fear of pregnancy and childbirth, financial reasons, and environmental reasons. Many respondents faced barriers such as cost and finding a physician to perform the procedure. The study emphasized the importance of providing patient-centered care and addressing historical practices of denying permanent contraception. Future research is needed to understand barriers to care and ensure access to permanent contraception for all individuals.
