“Do what you can, with what you have, where you are.”
― Theodore Roosevelt

Choosing to have a vasectomy is a very personal choice. Talk with your partner, and think about what is best for you and your family. Be sure to bring up any questions you may have with your health care provider.

Below are some things to keep in mind:

👉Vasectomy is safer and cheaper than tubal ligation (blocking the fallopian tubes to prevent pregnancy) in women.
👉The one-time cost of a vasectomy may be cheaper over time than the cost of other birth control methods, such as condoms or medication.
👉A vasectomy does not protect against s*xually transmitted diseases (STDs). Use condoms to protect against STDs.
Lastly, it is important to note vasectomy is a permanent method of birth control. This may be a plus or a minus based on your own situation. You should not have a vasectomy if you may want to father children in the future. While it is possible to have a vasectomy reversed, this can be a difficult and costly procedure. Also, reversing or “undoing” a vasectomy does not always result in pregnancy. So it is important to think through all your choices carefully before deciding to have a vasectomy.
