A Lady and her husband came  recently in my office.She had Ten children and was pregnant AGAIN

Well, after much inquiry i found out that neither the woman nor her husband were using any family planning methods.
The lady gave reasons to the effect that she doesnt like pills or injections and her husband vehemently refuses to use a condom saying it reduces the sexual excitement.

I suggested that either of them should volunteer for a permanent contraception after this pregnancy as the Football team was complete .

i.e Woman-  A total Hysterectomy ( removal of the whole womb )
      Man-      A vasectomy ( Cutting of the tube that connects the sperm producing organ to the penis)


Well, they both looked at each other as if to say "You be the one to do it". They said they would decide later and get back to me.

NAIRALANDERS< what do you think. If you were in their shoes ,what would you do??/

if the woman doesnt like pills and injections there many other types of contraception that she could use. remember tubal ligation is final and not a snap decision, inform her of her other options

The woman should be responsible, If the man does, the woman may not enjoy sex without producing sperm.

removal of the womb may not be too good. other measures shud be adopted and d two of them should co-operate 2 c that it worked out well. period!

usage of contraceptive pills by women is fine but as a man I will never go for vasectomy. You never know you might again need a child.
