Is There a Vasectomy (or Tubal Ligation) in Your Future? More likely than it was a year ago. Drastic as sterilization sounds to most of us, more and more people are giving it serious consideration these days. Here's why... Read More
Vesectomy realistically cheap way out, but expensive in future
A vesectomy is something that takes time to really decide if this maybe the best choice. Sometimes we tend to make decisions based upon how our situation may look or feel. Depending on ones beliefs of their purpose for existing, one wouldn't take this under much consideration. Our Bodies were designed the way they are for a purpose. It is not by chance that reproduction exists...
Re: Is There a Vasectomy (or Tubal Ligation) in Your Future?
According to a survey, each year over 600,000 women in USA undergo a tubal ligation. Tubal Ligation means permanent birth control and this ends a woman’s ability to have children. But what if a woman decides to become pregnant again? It is estimated that 6 percent of women who originally decided that tubal ligation was the way to permanently birth control, just within five years, they decide that they want to experience pregnancy and the birth of a new baby. Tubal reversal allows a woman the ability to conceive naturally without any harm. And in approximately 90% of cases the procedure can be reversed successfully.
Curious
What is the source for the 90% success rate in reversing tubal ligations and the source the survey you mentioned (600,000 women...)?
Thank you!
Vasectomy Side Effects
Vasectomies aren't side effect free. In a small minority of men an auto-immune disorder can arise resulting in the destruction of testicular tissue and low testosterone there after.
Many men end up having to go on testosterone replacement after this procedure. A lack of testosterone in men can cause depression, fatigue, sexual dysfunction, among others.
Worth looking into
Thank you for adding this medical information. It's another aspect to research thoroughly before making a decision.
Pro-Vasectomy/Tubal Ligation
My husband and I are currently using Mirena and are seriously considering vasectomy/tubal ligation. We have a two year old girl that we love to death, but in all practicality, it would be selfish of us to have any more. In today's society, there has been an increasing emphasis on environmental impact and sustainability. Can't this philosophy be extrapolated to family size? China's methods may seem harsh, but there will be a point when we cannot support the global population. My husband and I have been criticized for our decision not to have any more children. However, we both came from fairly large families (7+) and do not feel that the benefits of having multiple children outweigh the negative impacts.
