The Talmud [Yevamot 65b, Ketubot 60a] allows a woman to sterilize herself if she suffers unusual childbirth pain.
What is "unusual childbirth pain"? Women testify to the fact that there is no worse pain than childbirth pain.

2I don't understand what you are expecting in an answer. What units of pain would someone measure this in?– Double AA ♦Commented Apr 22, 2021 at 15:49

I don't know. I am asking what the Talmud has in mind. Rulings cannot be left vague.– Maurice MizrahiCommented Apr 22, 2021 at 15:51

Seemingly it meant "unusual" pain and not what most people have.– Double AA ♦Commented Apr 22, 2021 at 15:58

1So all a woman has to do is say that she thinks childbirth would give her unusual pain, and then she is allowed to sterilize herself? If not, how do you apply the leniency?– Maurice MizrahiCommented Apr 22, 2021 at 18:37

That doesn't follow. Perhaps a doctor has to approve it? Is that what you want to ask about?– Double AA ♦Commented Apr 22, 2021 at 18:51
