          Abstract

          O objetivo deste trabalho é analisar os impactos e as possíveis mudanças que a implementação da nova legislação sobre planejamento familiar teve nas práticas reprodutivas, especialmente na esterilização voluntária, e observar se os diretos reprodutivos de mulheres e homens têm sido satisfeitos. A abordagem metodológica é baseada em uma pesquisa follow-up, aplicada a uma amostra de 159 indivíduos durante seis meses e em seis diferentes capitais de estado. Além de verificar se os critérios estabelecidos na lei estavam sendo seguidos pelo setor público de saúde, nós analisamos o tempo de espera entre a solicitação pela esterilização e a realização da cirurgia, utilizando análise de sobrevivência. Adicionalmente, foram realizadas entrevistas com profissionais de saúde, as quais são muito elucidativas dos procedimentos adotados na prática da esterilização. Os resultados mostram que, por diferentes motivos, a lei mudou pouco a prática usual da esterilização e ainda não satisfaz os direitos reprodutivos de mulheres e homens no Brasil.

          Translated abstract

          This paper aims to analyze the impacts and possible changes that the implementation of a new Brazilian family planning law has on reproductive practices, especially voluntary sterilization, and to determine whether men's and women's reproductive rights are being respected. The methodological approach is based on a six-month follow-up survey taken monthly, applied to a sample of 159 individuals in six contextually different State capitals. Besides verifying whether the health sector is complying with the criteria set by the law, we analyze the waiting time between the request for sterilization and the surgery itself, utilizing survival analysis. We also conduct interviews with health professionals, shedding light on the procedures adopted in the practice of sterilization. For various reasons, the law has produced little change in the usual practice of sterilization, besides failing to satisfy individual reproductive rights.

              Risk factors for tubal sterilization regret, detectable before surgery.

              Brazil has one of the highest prevalence rates of female surgical sterilization in the world. At the same time there is an increased demand for sterilization reversal. In order to understand which women tend to later request reversal of the procedure, a case-control study was carried out comparing 216 women who requested reversal with sterilized women who did not, paired by year of surgery. The relative risk of requesting reversal for women sterilized before age 25 was 18 times that of women sterilized after age 29. The elevated risk remained even after controlling for a number of variables present at the time of surgery. Multiple regression analysis showed that request for reversal was associated with younger age, less information about the procedure, and fewer contraceptive methods known before sterilization. These results support the recommendation that women should be fully informed about the tubal ligation procedure and have access to other contraceptive options before being sterilized.
