  Abstract

Sterilization can be an empowering decision for the right person at the right time in their life. There are good alternatives, such as the intrauterine device, which provide better prevention of pregnancy without the risks associated with surgery. This article discusses the pros and cons of female and male sterilization and provides advice on how best to facilitate informed, patient-centred family planning.
