Why This Nigerian Husband Opted for Vasectomy to Protect His Wife
A Nigerian man shared why he chose a vasectomy earlier this year. His wife suffered acne and other health issues from hormonal birth control. She had removed her implant and refused more oral contraceptives after their fourth child. He disliked condoms and wanted to protect his wife’s wellbeing. Medically, vasectomy is a simple and safe long-term option. He experienced mild discomfort for only a few days and resumed intimacy by day seven. In his post, he challenged men who refuse the procedure. He noted the pains women endure during pregnancy, childbirth and recovery. He urged men to share family-planning responsibilities rather than “guarding their precious prick.” He concluded that vasectomy taught him many Nigerian men fear touching their “gbola” more than risking their own lives. He hopes his story inspires others to consider this option.
