When I saw this as one of the topics for this discussion, I decided to use real life/personal experience. When you hear the words vasectomy, men what do you think of, or what comes to mind? Well in this case I asked my fiance the same question. His response, “I automatically think my man hood is being taken away!” Ladies, what comes to mind when you hear the words tubal ligation? Well, as for myself, I think of, YES! NO MORE CHILDREN!! As you can see two different responses to the question above. Which shows how women think differently than men.

A vasectomy is considered the “male” birth control and close to 100% effective, an if reversed 50%. A vasectomy is done by cutting the vasa deferentia in men through a small incision to the scrotum, where it is tied, cut, or sealed. Did you know this can be done in an office visit with your primary care physician? This procedure does not cause for a male to be put to sleep or to be under heavy anesthesia. Men will still be able to have an ejaculation after having this procedure, which I’m sure that’s the concern of most men.

A tubal ligation also known as “tubes tied”, is the sterilization of the female to prevent pregnancy. Most women have this procedure done in the operating room after giving birth. Some have this completed during the same day or before being discharged from the hospital. A tubal is done by placing small incisions in the abdomen, where the female fallopian tubes are tied, burned, or cut. Unlike a vasectomy, this is done in a hospital, or surgical setting with general anesthesia. This can also be painful afterwards, and cause the female to be on light duty or lifting restrictions for up to 6 weeks, the same way as if the female is giving birth.

Both procedures are permanently, however, they can be reversed and not 100% effective rate. In that case, make wisely decisions.
