Low Cost Tubal Reversal: Fill & Download for Free

Many, but not all Gynecologists will be willing to perform this surgery for you. Some physicians are uncomfortable performing sterilization procedures on childless women, because they are concerned that you may have a high risk of regret. For example, if I perform a sterilization procedure on a 21 year old patient, even if she has 3 children, statistically she has a 50% chance of regretting her decision when she is in her 3os. If a patient regrets her decision, unfortunately tubal reversal is difficult, expensive, and only works 70% of the time, and IVF is very cost prohibitive. When working with a patient to decide on a procedure, whatever that may be, we are always balancing the risks and benefits of the procedure, and employing the best evidence that we have available to us, to choose an appropriate treatment plan. If a childless patient came to me in her early twenties desiring sterilization, I might see if she would consider an IUD instead, to help mitigate that risk of regret.In your case, it seems that you have made a well considered decision to remain childfree, and therefore your risk of regret is low, and I think it will be easy for you to find another provider to perform your surgery.

*Sigh*No. First, and read this carefully, people with uteruses are not solely responsible for reproduction and prevention thereof. We are not solely responsible for deciding whether or not both of us choose to have sex (hell, sometimes, we aren’t even given a vote). If you get a vote in the fun, you can take responsibility for prevention too.What we are solely responsible for is nine months of carrying the child and childbirth, both of which are medical conditions/procedures. You can die in childbirth. And the U.S. doesn’t have the greatest track record on maternal mortality rates (or any other health care for that matter) for being a so-called first-world country. People should have the right to their own health care decisions, and the only people weighing in on that other than the patient should be doctors and anyone the patient decides to ask an opinion of.If you have testicles, your physical contribution to reproduction ends when you orgasm. The rest of us aren’t even guaranteed the orgasm but still have nine months of discomfort, doctor’s appointments and medical concerns (at best), plus a painful and potentially dangerous labor before our physical contribution is done — if we don’t miscarry, die or get rendered incapable of having future pregnancies in the process (or any number of other complications).Second, a tubal ligation can be a very invasive procedure. Abortion carries fewer risks (it’s safer than a colonoscopy) and is a fairly simple procedure that requires only local anesthesia if surgical and only the ability to swallow pills if medical. They’re not fun and no one wants one, but they’re a lot safer and easier to recover from than tubal ligation. There are some types of tubal ligation that are safer and less invasive, but what are the odds the government would cover that? And even if they did, I refer you back to people having the right to make their own medical decisions. You’re still asking someone to give up a year of their life and take a lot of risks you can’t come back from. And tubal ligation isn’t guaranteed to be reversible (a procedure which is also invasive) and just because you don’t want this child doesn’t mean you won’t ever want one. When you start your period, you’re now capable of having a baby. Are we really going to force teenagers to make that decision? Or worse, allow their parents to do it for them?But I do have a counterproposal. How about they make vasectomies, which are also safe and fairly simple one-day procedures, free as well, and people with penises can be in charge of their own health care decisions too?Or heck! They’re reversible with a usually higher success rate than tubal ligations (depending on how long you’ve had them)! How about we just force them to have one once they’re sexually mature then also make it free to have it reversed when they’re ready to have kids? I mean, it would put the same kinda fertility clock on them as the rest of us have. And I guess you would have to have it unreversed after that, so that’s kind of a lot of medical procedures that might not be able to be reversed — ah, who cares? You were willing to make someone else go through those, right? Of course, there’s always the option of having their sperm aspirated, which would allow them to have kids without bothering with a reversal.I wanted to close this “point” with a smart-alecky “Controlling other people’s bodies is fun!” but it honestly just seems like a lot of work just to get some fake sense of power over someone else’s health care and life and avoid taking your own responsibility and give others the due respect of knowing what’s best for them.Also, it turns out the availability of abortion saves lives. It not only prevents back-alley abortions (which are dangerous, but desperate times call for desperate measures and people will do it anyway — see Dirty Dancing if you need a reminder antiabortion laws don’t stop abortions but only endanger lives). But many people would die without access to abortion. It’s not only people who don’t want kids who have them. Sometimes, the mother’s life is in danger. Sometimes (far too often), people get raped. Sometimes, people who plan to have kids get pregnant by accident and aren’t ready due to a number of circumstances. Most women who have them have not one but several reasons for wanting an abortion[1][1][1][1]. It’s too complex a topic for a simple “you had access to a tubal ligation” to solve. How would that help them?Moreover, organizations committed to access to abortions, like Planned Parenthood, have done more than even birth control itself to lower the abortion rate[2][2][2][2] in this country since it became legal by providing both abortions and care and access to prevention methods.They also provide a variety of low-cost services to low-income (and even high-income sometimes) individuals of all genders, though their area of focus is clearly the uterus. They provide the proper education the government doesn’t mandate kids get in school or that adults have access to in many cases (education they’re literally allowed to be misleading about by law — abstinence isn’t the only way to prevent pregnancy when you might get raped, so you kinda need to know your options if you have a reason to worry about that, like say, being a woman, and abortion doesn’t increase your risk of breast cancer[3][3][3][3]) and access to birth control and prophylactics. They even provide free or low-cost services such as prenatal care (so wanted babies are born healthy), gynecological exams, mammograms and more. States that are anti-Planned Parenthood tend to have higher infant mortality rates[4][4][4][4] too, by the way. Some if not all of them also have high maternal mortality rates[5][5][5][5].If you’re really “pro-life” (a term I reject because people who are pro-life on this topic often aren’t too concerned about the quality of life after you’re born), your best bet is to donate to Planned Parenthood and vote for candidates who believe in abortion rights — two things we know really do lower abortion rates.Footnotes[1] Why do women have abortions?[1] Why do women have abortions?[1] Why do women have abortions?[1] Why do women have abortions?[2] Number of abortions in U.S. drops to lowest since they became legal nationwide[2] Number of abortions in U.S. drops to lowest since they became legal nationwide[2] Number of abortions in U.S. drops to lowest since they became legal nationwide[2] Number of abortions in U.S. drops to lowest since they became legal nationwide[3] https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/fact-checker/wp/2016/12/14/texas-state-booklet-misleads-women-on-abortions-and-their-risk-of-breast-cancer/[3] https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/fact-checker/wp/2016/12/14/texas-state-booklet-misleads-women-on-abortions-and-their-risk-of-breast-cancer/[3] https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/fact-checker/wp/2016/12/14/texas-state-booklet-misleads-women-on-abortions-and-their-risk-of-breast-cancer/[3] https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/fact-checker/wp/2016/12/14/texas-state-booklet-misleads-women-on-abortions-and-their-risk-of-breast-cancer/[4] States pushing abortion bans have highest infant mortality rates[4] States pushing abortion bans have highest infant mortality rates[4] States pushing abortion bans have highest infant mortality rates[4] States pushing abortion bans have highest infant mortality rates[5] Texas has highest maternal mortality rate in developed world, study finds[5] Texas has highest maternal mortality rate in developed world, study finds[5] Texas has highest maternal mortality rate in developed world, study finds[5] Texas has highest maternal mortality rate in developed world, study finds

You want to have sex, you don't want to use a condom, you don't want the woman you have sex with to be pregnant…Simple, go get a vasectomy.Vasectomy is nearly 100 percent effective in preventing pregnancy.Vasectomy is an outpatient surgery with a low risk of complications or side effects.The cost of a vasectomy is far less than the cost of female sterilization (tubal ligation) or the long-term cost of birth control medications for women.A vasectomy means you won't need to take birth control steps before sex, such as putting on a condom.source: Vasectomy - Mayo ClinicIt's safe, cheap, almost 100% effective, and reversible. When you're ready to have kids, go through a procedure to reconnect your tubes.The only reason men aren't doing this is that the risk and consequences of pregnancy are 100% shouldered by women.So be a good responsible man, and get a vasectomy.
