Permanent Family Planning Options

Female sterilization, also known as tubal ligation, involves clamping or cutting the fallopian tubes through either laparoscopy or a mini-laparotomy procedure. It is a permanent form of birth control that eliminates the risk of pregnancy without affecting sexual pleasure or needing daily attention. However, it requires surgery which carries surgical risks and complications. It does not protect against sexually transmitted infections. Male sterilization or vasectomy involves cutting and sealing the vas deferens to prevent sperm from entering seminal fluid, providing permanent contraception. While highly effective, it does not prevent STIs and may not be reversible in all cases. Both procedures are cost-effective long-term alternatives to other contraceptive methods.
