A prospective cohort study of menstrual symptoms and morbidity over 15 years following laparoscopic Filshie clip sterilisation

Menstrual symptoms increased following Filshie clip sterilisation irrespective of pre-sterilisation symptoms and contraception. Whatever the causative mechanism, the progestogen-loaded intrauterine system (IUS), with similar efficacy but with improved menstrual symptoms, should be considered before sterilisation.
