How quickly does female sterilisation work?

The operation provides immediate protection. You can make love as soon as you feel ready. It must be stressed that contraception is required before the operation. If there are sperm in the female genital tract before the sterilisation, fertilisation could occur. If you have an IUCD that is to be removed at the time of sterilisation, you should abstain or use a barrier method for at least seven days before the sterilisation. If an embryo has been conceived and it is above the sterilisation point, the pregnancy could implant in the Fallopian tube (ectopic pregnancy) which is dangerous. If the embryo is below the sterilisation point, an ongoing pregnancy within the uterus would not be prevented by the operation.
