Download Why are so few men choosing vasectomy?
Health experts recommend vasectomy as one of the approved family planning methods.
The surgical procedure permanently seals the tubes carrying a man’s sperm – making conception impossible.
Around the world, vasectomy is much less common than surgical procedures to prevent women from having children.
And whereas as many as 21% of men have had a vasectomy in some countries – across Africa that figure stands at less than 1%.
So, why do so few men see vasectomy as an option?
