Marleen Walubengo, a Kenyan reproductive health advocate, has recently highlighted the benefits of vasectomy as a permanent method of family planning for men. According to Walubengo, a vasectomy procedure takes only 10 to 15 minutes, and with modern non-scalpel techniques, patients can resume their normal activities within a week.
Vasectomy is a surgical procedure that involves cutting or blocking the vas deferens, which is the tube that carries sperm from the testicles to the urethra. By blocking the vas deferens, sperm cannot reach the semen, which means that the man cannot impregnate a woman. It is a highly effective and safe method of family planning, with a success rate of over 99%.
Despite the benefits of vasectomy, it is still a relatively underutilized method of family planning in many parts of the world, Kenya. Many men still have misconceptions about the procedure, fears of pain or decreased sexual function. However, these concerns are largely unfounded, and vasectomy is a safe and straightforward procedure that can be done under local anesthesia.
Walubengo’s advocacy for vasectomy is an important step in promoting reproductive health and family planning for men. By increasing awareness and dispelling myths about the procedure, more men can make informed decisions about their reproductive health and take an active role in family planning. Vasectomy is a reliable and permanent method of contraception that offers men the opportunity to take control of their reproductive future.
