Tubectomy has been known as the most appropriate method for women who have decided to stop conceiving. Some argue that it may improve their quality of life; on the other hand, some say it may cause physical, psychological, and mental problems due to increased incidence of dysmenorrhea or other post-tubectomy syndrome. This study aimed to compare the physical health, mental health, and sexual function of tubectomy acceptors with non-tubectomy. A cross-sectional study was done among 178 people, distributed equally among tubectomy and non-tubectomy groups who met the inclusion criteria. The research was conducted in the Raipur District in February 2022 using The Short Form 36 (SF-36) questionnaire was used to measure the dimensions of physical and mental health, while the Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI) was used to measure sexual function dimensions. In physical health dimensions, the scores obtained from the tubectomy group had a median score of 80(28-88) compared to 78(36-93) in non- tubectomy group. The median scores on mental health dimensions were 73(30-88) in the tubectomy group vs. 76(23 - 88) in non- tubectomy group. Mann Whitney test showed no significant differences in the dimensions of physical health (p = 0.600) or mental health (p = 0.678). However, their sexual function dimensions median scores showed a significant difference, i.e., 76(23- 92) vs 71(13-91), p = 0.01 in tubectomy vs non- tubectomy group
