[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Vasectomy is significantly more risky than most people understand. About 1-2% of the tine, the man will get Post Vasectomy Pain Syndrome. This disease causes constant groin pain, which gets worse during sex. Understandably, this can cause a lot of resentment and ruin marriages.

Check out https://www.reddit.com/r/postvasectomypain/wiki/partner-stories for examples of what it is like for women when their partner gets PVPS[/quote]

I thought this was an interesting article on complications and risks. Although major complications are rare for tubal ligation, they are not non-existent and some small number of women die from complications of the procedure. There are no major complications reported for vasectomy. The section on "regret" is also interesting. Many more women regret a tubal than men regret a vasectomy:

I am sorry to the poster with the vasectomy pain. I don't know of any instances of that IRL among the men I know who have had vasectomies. I wonder if certain doctors have worse outcomes.[/quote]
