The rate of voluntary sterilization among young women jumped abruptly after Dobbs, and there’s no reason to believe it will drop off

To expand: Got mine several years ago. I was literally in a cold sweat shaking in fear when I got into that doctor’s office and it ended up being a total cakewalk. You basically get one pinch that feels like someone snapped you in the groin with a rubber band, and then you’re pretty much done. I was way more worried than I needed to be. Sat in a lazy boy with peas on my junk for a few days and was right back at it.
Also, don’t make your lady get sterilized just because you’re a bitch. The female process is so much more invasive/painful.
Edit: fun fact, those stirrup things on the doctor table are actually kinda comfy. I dont understand the complaints.
Speaking as a woman who has had some terrible gynecologists over the years, the stirrups are worse when you have to scoot yourself down the bed until you’re practically falling off of it and are getting painful procedures done to you without anesthesia. I had to get a biopsy of my cervix one time and the most they did for me was to tell me to take some ibuprofen before the procedure. Women’s healthcare is still barbaric a disturbingly large amount of the time.
I was so happy to get to work with a very modern and compassionate OB/Gyn for my 3rd year medical school rotation. She offered her patients valium and local anesthesia for things like IUD insertions (and didn’t scold her patients for expressing pain when they did feel it.)
Ibuprofen… Are you fucking kidding? I’m actually enraged. I got a months worth of oxy for my vasectomy and only ‘needed’ two doses. They even gave me something to take before it to relax, though I don’t remember if it was Valium or Xanax.
Same! The really important part is the after care. If you ignore the doctors instructions you can have blood pool up in your scrotum and if it’s bad enough they’ll have to extract it.
