- A. It protects against sexually transmitted infections for life
- B. It is intended to be permanent and should be chosen voluntarily
- C. It can be reversed easily whenever pregnancy is desired

Tubal sterilisation is intended to be permanent, so informed and voluntary consent is essential before the procedure. It does not stop menstruation and does not protect against sexually transmitted infections.
