Men who have had the snip

Why did you get it done?

Was it an easy decision to come to?

My friend has just turned 30 and has cysts on her ovaries. She’s in immense pain, especially when she gets her period. She’s on loads of medication, is off work pretty much once a month and can’t function properly.

But she has been refused twice now to have a hysterectomy as she’s only 30 and is married. One doctor asked to speak to her husband first to make sure he “agreed to it” !!

Not that it matters, but she already has two children. She would like more, but she’s accepted it’s not to be, and is focused on trying to get a hysterectomy.

Men - was it this difficult for you?

They do the same with men. They want to see the wife if they’re a certain age. Well they did anyway. It was a while ago.

No it wasn’t difficult I had it done 12 years ago. They didn’t even ask to see or speak to any partner. In and out in 3 hours no swelling or time off of work.

However I do know 3 people that their balls swelled like melons and were in pain for a couple of days

I made the decision to have the snip after the birth of my son 33 years ago as my then wife had suffered quite a lot during the pregnancy. Don’t regret having it done.

I'm talking point blank refusal.

I don't even think your spouse should have to agree. I think they should have to be aware but I don't think they should have to agree. Regardless of your gender. (This isn't an ideal relationship, I get that, but we don't own someone because we marry them)

Like anything you need to give it some thought. For me it was easy. I’ve had a child and didn’t want anymore by accident. My body my choice. Anyone Male or female should be allowed to make their own choice free of judgement or criticism about their own body.

Nobody should "make" anyone do anything they don't want to. But a mutual decision or something that a person wants is surely fine.

Do men "make" women take the pill (probably sadly yes in some cases)

The decision was easy as i already had 5 kids .

But i opted for a local anesthetic. The Surgeon had arms on him like a gorilla!

After 40 minutes and three further injections the stopped it .

So 3 days later they knocked me out and did it .

Walked like john wayne for a fortnight.

for a while, I thought it was a fashion statement to get the snip.... Pretty much every month for over a year another friend or colleague or relative (or their other half) would disclose they d had it.... Seemed to be you just went to gp, asked and were put on the list

Chams or Socials

I had to jump through so many hoops to get my hysterectomy it was untrue. I was told I’d never have children naturally but did. Was told I could have hysterectomy at 30. I was nearly 43. I felt I was never taken seriously unless my dad or husband was with me. The consultant that did my op (after I requested a change of gynae) did apologise for the appalling treatment I had received.

Ex husband got his op very easily

That's horrible! I don't understand the logic behind it at all.

I had to practically beg to be sterilised, I was 38, I had three kids and excruciating pelvic griddle pain in the last two pregnancies. It started earlier in every pregnancy, and I was told that it might not even go away after my daughter was born. It's mostly gone now, but I was worried that if I got pregnant again I would end up with crunches for the rest of my life. Cannot take hormonal contraception and got pregnant on the coil twice, so a sterilisation was a no brainer for me.

A friend has asked for a vasectomy a while ago and they asked him the usual questions about wanting more kids etc. And when he said that both him and his wife are happy with the number of children they already had, they asked him if he considered what would happen if he divorced and met someone else

"Why did you get it done?

Was it an easy decision to come to?

My friend has just turned 30 and has cysts on her ovaries. She’s in immense pain, especially when she gets her period. She’s on loads of medication, is off work pretty much once a month and can’t function properly.

But she has been refused twice now to have a hysterectomy as she’s only 30 and is married. One doctor asked to speak to her husband first to make sure he “agreed to it” !!

Not that it matters, but she already has two children. She would like more, but she’s accepted it’s not to be, and is focused on trying to get a hysterectomy.

Men - was it this difficult for you?"

A lot of men think they deserve control over womens bodies. I guess we are just cunts.

"

A friend has asked for a vasectomy a while ago and they asked him the usual questions about wanting more kids etc. And when he said that both him and his wife are happy with the number of children they already had, they asked him if he considered what would happen if he divorced and met someone else "

A friend of mine, had a vasectomy at the request of his wife. Turned out she was having an affair all of the time. He then met someone else, vasectomy reversal didn’t work so they had to do IVF which was successful.

A girlfriend was in a relationship, she wanted children, her partner went and had a vasectomy without discussing it with her at all.

I've got 3 kids (which I think is enough) so after the birth of our last I asked my wife to sort it out for me (because I'm a man and can't do anything for myself) and when I got to the clinic I got taken to a room by myself so they could ask if i was being forced into this because my wife sounded very forceful while organizing it for me

Been asking since I was 18. Never wanted children. I do love my son, but I wouldn't have felt life was incomplete had I never had him, instead he's been a fantastic surprise.

When I had a mental breakdown early last year one thing I mentioned was anxiety over getting the wife pregnant again it made her so ill last time. Therefore they agreed to get me a vasectomy.

Was an absolute nothing op, back at work two days later, little tender for a week but nothing major.

I got thrown out of my doctors for asking for the snip on my 18th birthday.

I never wanted kids and to this day I am glad for myself that I never had any.

I finally managed to get it done aged 34 I think it was.

At the time I had a gf with 3 kids and that was the only reason my doctor agreed to it.

It's so annoying that they dont believe you when you tell them every reason why you know you dont want kids!

I really do think people overthink/overreact these days! I don’t think anyone is trying to control anyone’s body in these situations! It was always normal practice for a doctor to want to see both partners. Of course everyone has a right to decide for themselves. It was just general chat. It’s a big decision. Just questions like what if you lost a child, what if you separated and wanted children with someone else etc. All this “how dare they talk to the partner, how dare a man try and control what a woman wants!” That’s not what it is! I can’t believe some of these comments on here.

I was 29 when I had the snip I have 5 children and when I first went to see the doctor they asked all sorts of questions asking of your children all died in a car crash would you want more?

My answer was no you cannot replace them.

Then they asked if my wife died and you met someone else what if they want children?

I said well I have 5 children If I met someone else and see wanted her own children it wouldn't be with me 5 is enough for anyone!!!

So they said ok and I got the snip.

Sadly my wife did pass away 4 years after that but I still wouldn't want more children and I am not looking to meet anyone to replace my wife as their mum.

Now I'm happily firing blanks with no risk for fathering more children i love my children to bits but I'd never want more. Heaven knows I wouldn't be able to afford more lol

"Make sure her husband agreed to it?

Yep "

I think the doctor maybe meant to have said

“have you discussed and thought about this with your husband? This is a big step as I’m sure you’re aware and may affect the dynamics of your family. But rem_mber you’re free and independent to make your own choice and as a medical professional I’m here to advise you as per the best course of action that I know of and to help you make an informed decision.”

As someone else has mentioned they will ask the husband to discuss it with his wife. When we talk hypothetically about a women and husband then it sounds a lot worse than it is. But think if you were married for 10-15 years and your spouse then wanted this life changing surgery. You would want to discuss it together.

The doctor should have been tactful in the way he asked if the husband agreed. I AM NOT SAYING SHE HAS TO ASK OR GET HUSBANDS PERMISSION but sometimes doctors have to ask, to ensure when she goes home there are no nasty arguments etc. They can then provide support and signposting to services where the husband could get help understanding the situation (if he didn’t agree).

I think it comes down to the doctors level of tact and wording. Overall to just say “does your husband agree?” does come across as if he has the final say. Maybe there was the other possible context as I’ve highlighted but I find doctors to be quite unprofessional at times. Maybe they’re too used to see the same thing day in and day out? Who knows.

I hope your friend gets better. The pain and impact on work sounds like it’s having a significant impact on het!

youve got a very warped idea of marriage or long term relationships

A marriage is a comes with two equal partners

Its hell of a decision for a couple to go for the snip but its a decision both ppartners make. If my ex husband had gone for a vasectomy without telling me i would of left him

But she has been refused twice now to have a hysterectomy as she’s only 30 and is married. One doctor asked to speak to her husband first to make sure he “agreed to it” !!

Not that it matters, but she already has two children. She would like more, but she’s accepted it’s not to be, and is focused on trying to get a hysterectomy.

Men - was it this difficult for you?"

I had the snip at 26

I found it quite easy as I'm rather strong willed and persuasive

I was 23/24 when I seen the doctor and exclaimed that I wanted the snip. People told me that I'm far too young to be considered.

My story must have been very convincing as I was seen to six months after that. At my local hospital and been firing blanks for about 11yrs now...

Blah blah blah

She should go and tell them straight. Her body, her decisions.

They do the same with men. They want to see the wife if they’re a certain age. Well they did anyway. It was a while ago.

Not in the same way they do with women. I've never heard of a man being refused. I know of women who've been refused."

When I asked my GP he wouldn’t make a referral without my wife being present and giving consent. Ironically he didn’t seem too interested in whether I was there if my own accord or whether she had frog marched me in.

A lot of men think they deserve control over womens bodies. I guess we are just cunts.

I really do think people overthink/overreact these days! I don’t think anyone is trying to control anyone’s body in these situations! It was always normal practice for a doctor to want to see both partners. Of course everyone has a right to decide for themselves. It was just general chat. It’s a big decision. Just questions like what if you lost a child, what if you separated and wanted children with someone else etc. All this “how dare they talk to the partner, how dare a man try and control what a woman wants!” That’s not what it is! I can’t believe some of these comments on here.

It was meant to be tongue in cheek but that seems to be lost. However to think that people arent out for control seems a little naive to me.

No it’s not naivety. Don’t be ridiculous. It’s not just your comment that I’m referring to. Why is it outrageous/disgusting to want to see a married couple together when one is wanting to be sterilised?

Because it's their body, their choice. The whole idea of marriage is outdated and should be made obsolete anyway.youve got a very warped idea of marriage or long term relationships

A marriage is a comes with two equal partners

Its hell of a decision for a couple to go for the snip but its a decision both ppartners make. If my ex husband had gone for a vasectomy without telling me i would of left him

"Make sure her husband agreed to it?

Yep

I think the doctor maybe meant to have said

“have you discussed and thought about this with your husband? This is a big step as I’m sure you’re aware and may affect the dynamics of your family. But rem_mber you’re free and independent to make your own choice and as a medical professional I’m here to advise you as per the best course of action that I know of and to help you make an informed decision.”

As someone else has mentioned they will ask the husband to discuss it with his wife. When we talk hypothetically about a women and husband then it sounds a lot worse than it is. But think if you were married for 10-15 years and your spouse then wanted this life changing surgery. You would want to discuss it together.

The doctor should have been tactful in the way he asked if the husband agreed. I AM NOT SAYING SHE HAS TO ASK OR GET HUSBANDS PERMISSION but sometimes doctors have to ask, to ensure when she goes home there are no nasty arguments etc. They can then provide support and signposting to services where the husband could get help understanding the situation (if he didn’t agree).

I think it comes down to the doctors level of tact and wording. Overall to just say “does your husband agree?” does come across as if he has the final say. Maybe there was the other possible context as I’ve highlighted but I find doctors to be quite unprofessional at times. Maybe they’re too used to see the same thing day in and day out? Who knows.

I hope your friend gets better. The pain and impact on work sounds like it’s having a significant impact on het! "

You make an excellent point here, thank you

There are a few things to consider here.

Firstly, the job of a medical professional is to treat the person sitting in front of them, and to protect their privacy. That doesn't mean it's inappropriate for them to ask someone if they've fully considered the implications of the procedure, or to ask if they've consulted with family m_mbers who may be affected - those are valid questions and show a duty of care towards the patient's wellbeing.

However, if for example I was being abused by my partner, and wanted to be sterilised without his knowledge, that should be entirely my choice. Nobody's partner is entitled to have a say in it.

I think the way questions are asked has a lot to do with it. Not all doctors have the best bedside manner!

I was 29, had two kids and didn't want more. The main rationale was to get the Mrs off of the pill and it seemed the best solution.

The Doctor felt that it was early age wise but accepted the case put to him.

Had it done privately I think. No major issues tbf.

We do vasectomies where I work and they don't speak to the wife/partner. If the man says he wants one he gets one. They just make sure they've considered all future possibilities like if they got in a new relationship or something happened to their current children.

"I got thrown out of my doctors for asking for the snip on my 18th birthday.

I never wanted kids and to this day I am glad for myself that I never had any.

I finally managed to get it done aged 34 I think it was.

At the time I had a gf with 3 kids and that was the only reason my doctor agreed to it.

It's so annoying that they dont believe you when you tell them every reason why you know you dont want kids!

Agreed, I want the snip but I know I'll be refused. The last thing this world needs is a little version of me running around "

I've seen men in their 20s with no kids have them. I guess it depends where you live and who provides the service as it varies massively. If you're at the mercy of an old fashioned consultant you may be refused which isn't right. Some areas you can have it done at your GP practice or sexual health clinic though.

I tried for years and kept getting refused. The reason? I might change my mind. I decided when I was 5 I never wanted children of my own.

I finally found a GP who agreed that at 47 I was old enough for this to be a reasonable request. Unfortunately I am also diabetic and high blood sugars can cause complications so it is on hold until that is under control. I can only imagine how hard it must be for a woman given the difficulties I had.

I had mine done a few years back; my wife asked a few times before I actually had it done, but the procedure itself was pretty easy, quick and mostly pain-free afterwards. It never felt worse than well-grazed knee.

The worse parts were reacting to the local anaesthetic later as it started to metabolise and the fact the nurses who assisted the surgeon were both very pretty
