It is just a needle prick. Please don't tell me that an overwhelming majority of Indian men is scared of a needle prick. Its just an excuse. Should I tell you the real real reason? Men are afraid that following vasectomy, they wont attain complete erection and/or experience a reduction in sexual pleasure. So in essence, they prefer their sexual satisfaction over the safety and wellbeing of their wives. This is the job of the counselor/program coordinator to address their fear and educate them about the risks involved in TL.
hey,,,u n me know that its just a needle prick,,,,but a dehati might find it difficult to accept all that n the associated taboo..yes counselors shud do a better job,,,but thn what can u expect from sarkari mulazim...they dont care
neway,,,,lap ligations r done by dept. of OBG,,,while vasectomies r under dept. of urology/gen. surgery,a dept. which is always overworked in govt. setups,,,,so they tend to avoid vasectomies(or any other vella procedure like circumcision without any indication),,,if patient opts for GA,,thn it will be a longer procedure,,killing OT time.
moreover ligation is not a life threatening procedure,,,i myself have assisted,,,its a ~15 min procedure,done under short GA with spontaneous respiration while in private setup its done under spinal block
