why do people choose tube sterilization over vasectomy?
157299
The recovery time is less with tube sterilization. Also, men tend to get a little queezy when they see the video! My daughters boyfriend had gone to the hospital for his scheduled vasectomy, and before going into the O.R. he had to watch a video that showed the proceedure. Needless to say, he didn't finish watching the video, instead, he got dressed, and left! He chickened out! \n\nWhen I had my tubiligation, the insision was in my belly button, and I was almost completely pain free within a couple of days.

I am very happy with my decision to get a tubal. I am a mother of three and me and my husband know we didn't want any more kids. Since my last son was born by c/s I opted for the tubal as a permanent form of b/c. My only complaints were that my menstruation for about 5 months were very heavy for the entire duration of my cycle. Any women knew I was miserable. After that time...my periods became normal. So anyone contemplating a tubal, just thoroughly discuss it with your doctor and you'll know whats right for you...don't listen to anyone...just go on your own judgment.

Because they just cut and tie (or cauterize and tie) your fallopian tube. Your menstrual cycle is caused by the lining in your uterus being expelled... just a different part of your anatomy. A hysterectomy can be done to remove your uterus, ovaries, pretty much everything... a hysterectomy is what stops you from menstruating... or menopause will too I guess

"Having a vasectomy greatly improves your chances of having a child."\n\n"The <insert opposite sex here> doctors and nurses are all very attractive."\n\n"Look over there..." At this point knock them out, put them in for the operation and tell them the person was so desperate for a vasectomy they fainted.\n\n"It's just like having your hair cut or nails clipped, it doesn't hurt you at all."\n\n"Having a vasectomy means more s*x for you!"\n\n"Having a vasectomy is very fashionable these days."\n\n"Did you know that having a vasectomy increases your life span?" (Men actually DO live longer without their testicles, by about 13 years, believe it or not. This is actually a FACT!)\n\nHave a game of truth or dare, then when they say dare, you say, "I dare you to have a vasectomy."\n\nOr simply tell them that they should become homosexual, that way they won't be able to reproduce.

It does seem like sterilizing a needle for a person that is being killed by the government don't it. I think a person ought to be able to choose their own path to hell. So why are their such laws.

SORRY, BUT YOU ARE MARRIED TO A MALE CHAUVINIST PIG.  HOW DARE HIM EXPECT YOU TO HAVE YOUR TUBES TIED WHEN HE IS THE ONE NOT WANTING ANY MORE CHILDREN.  DOES HE NOT REALIZE THAT HE CAN HAVE HIS NUTS CUT ONE DAY AND BE BACK AT WORK THE NEXT.  IF YOU HAVE YOUR TUBES TIED, IT IS AN ACTUAL SURGERY THAT TAKES A MINIMAL OF A WEEKS RECOVERY TIME.  TELL HIM TO GET NEUTERED OR GET USED TO HAVING A GREASY PALM.  YOU SHOULD NOT HAVE TO TAKE BIRTH CONTROL (WHICH BY THE WAY IS UNHEALTHY TO TAKE FOR TOO LONG) JUST BECAUSE HE WANTS TO GET HIS JOLLIES BUT NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR BIRTH CONTROL.  WHAT A PIG.\nI'M SORRY I'M IN ALL CAPS - BUT THIS REALLY PISSES ME OFF!!!!!

There is only one kind of vasectomy i.ecuttig and  tying the  spermatic cord  through which the sperms travel on both sides, by a very very minor operation. If necessary the cut tubes could be joined by the same method again if the person wants. . It is commonly done. It is neither  harmful nor dangerous and no untoward effects at all. He wiil be normal even after that physically and sexually.  It is just like an outpatient treatment.  Let him have it.  You need not have any anxiety. Usually vasectomy is done as a family planning programme. So let him go ahead and reverse what has been already done. Encourage him . Good luck.

It is a barbaric practice.\n\nAsk a woman if she should be circumcized and the world goes into a tizzy -- as well it should.  Suggest that a boy need not be circumcized and people think you're nuts.  It'll be rationalized as "it is healthier."  If it is appropriate to keep our girls intact, it is then quite appropriate to keep our boys intact too.\n\nThe "health of the child" argument just doesn't fly.  We don't routinely remove the tonsils of children anymore as a preventive measure.  We don't remove the appendix because it might burst.  Removing the foreskin because there might be complications is BS.  C'mon we evolved over millions of years without the practice of removing the foreskin.  You'd think we could make it today without doing so.\n\nIt is absolutely no problem keeping an uncircumcized boy clean and disease free -- just wash them every day.\n\nThe treatment of phimosis where the foreskin won't retract over the glans used to call for circumcision.  However research has shown that topic steroids can painlessly help with this problem. Simple applications of hydrocortizone cream will reduce or prevent the adhesions. (It's working for my son).\n\nSo, here's how you stop it.  Don't let anyone circumsize your boys.  Don't let the doctors convince you that it needs to be done.  If they do it, consider a malpractice suit.  If they insist that it should be done, ask for a second opinion. Even if your inlaws are Jewish, ignore their "wishes" and keep your boys intact.  Unfortunately, it'll take years of people resisting this practice, more education and discussions like this, and enough boys with intact penises so that the circumsized become the odd boys out, not vice versa, and then it'll change.

As an adult... stay as you are... it's a major surgery when you wait until adulthood.  As far as the theories go:  Circumcised men are cleaner, it's more enjoyable... and so on...  they have been argued... unclean people wont clean whether they're circumcised or not, and that circumcised males actually have more nerve endings.  Either way is fine if you're thinking about your children.  In America it is expected because of tradition, and some families still view the religious implication that circumcision holds.  But I wouldn't recommend it after infancy.

It's still the same colour.\nEjaculate is white because it contains glucose, whether a guy has had a vasectomy or not.\nA vasectomy severs the tract between the testicle and the prostate, which is where the sperm (produced in the testicles) and semen (which is white) are mixed.\nAfter a vasectomy, the semen is still able to get to the prostate (and out the urethra), but it contains no sperm.

There is NO medical reason for it. There is no evidence that it is more clean. The reason people do it, is simple: it is a puritanical leftover from Victorian times. These days, hospitals charge the parents for this supposed " service ", then take the foreskin and sell it to bioteck companies. It is a billion dollar industry. So - doctors profit twice from this procedure that actually robs men of  up to 70 thousand nerve endings. It is barbaric mutilation. Babies are strapped down to a board, no pain medicine is given, and the wounds are often infected. You'd be surprised to learn how many babies die from this every year.\nThe foreskin serves lot of purposes - that why it is there. It is man's stupidity that makes them think we should all live without it - or that they know better. 85% of the men on this earth are NOT circumcised - it is really only stupid America that routinely does it. The head of the penis is not meant to be exposed to so much air and chaffing. The gland develops proteins that de-sensitizes it - making sexual sensations diminish over time.\nPeople have banned female circumcision - but this is the same thing!\nAny woman who condones this should have themselves circumcised.\nGo to  www.NORM.org to learn what is lost when you circumcise.\nGet educated.\nIf you have been circumcised, you can reverse it - check out  www. NORM. org.

If his wife is good to go with the vasectomy, then I'd tell him to do it.  It's quite liberating.

First it really is a matter of preference or, in some cases, religion such as Judaism. It used to be that it was done for health reasons, but we know now if you are uncut and clean yourself by drawing back the foreskin, there will be no infections.\nAs far as sex is concerned, I have been told that women prefer the uncircumcised penis better because of the foreskin moving and stimulating them during sex.\n\nYour decision. Good luck!! BTW, having the operation as an adult, I understand, is very painful, so be prepared, and above all, consult with your own doctor for his/her advice.

The idea behind fractional sterilization --- in which you heat, cool, then heat again to sterilize a container --- is to catch resistant microorgranisms and spores that survive the first heating.\n\nCertain microorganisms and spores are actually activated by the first round of heating, so if you serially heat, and then cool, it gives the resistant "bugs" a chance to germinate. Once they're "out in the open," you can kill 'em off with a second or third round of heating.\n\nThis site below doesn't completely explain the difference, but it does go through a lot of the general ideas behind sterilizing instruments and other things in a hospital setting.\n\nTake a look...

Okay, I am going to assume that this is a serious question.  The reason in *favor* of sterilization of insects is that they don't breed.  If they mate, they are sterile, so they don't reproduce.\n\nThe disadvantage is that by itself, this doesn't get rid of any insects.  It just reduces the size of the next generation.  Insecticides, by contrast, kill the insects that are out there today.
