Alternatives to Vasectomy

Vasectomy

  • Pros: Fortunately, a vasectomy is almost 100 percent effective and does not disrupt sexual activities or desire.
  • Cons: The procedure has permanent effects, so it is hard to get it reversed. A reversal is also expensive and has several risks, such as severe pain.

IUD

  • Pros: You cannot feel an IUD because of its size. You can easily maintain it. It can be removed if you change your mind and decide to get pregnant.
  • Cons: In rare cases, slippage may occur. You must meet your doctor to insert it or remove it.

Contraceptive Implant

  • Pros: It is one of the most effective methods of birth control. You don’t need to maintain it after insertion. You can also remove the implant if you want to get pregnant.
  • Cons: It is an expensive procedure, so you may need insurance. Also, you must remove it after three years.
