Tubal sterilization and vasectomy were associated with a lower risk of hospitalization for pelvic inflammatory disease compared to non-contraception or other contraceptive methods.

One-sentence paraphrase of the abstract; not a substitute for reading it. No clinical advice. How this works

Abstract

Analyses of data from the Women's Health Study suggest that the relative risks of hospitalization for PID were lower for women with tubal sterilizations and women whose partners had been sterilized (p less than 0.05), compared to sexually active non-contraceptors or women using oral or barrier methods. Further studies should be conducted to evaluate this non-contraceptive benefit of sterilization.
