1	Many doctors require men seeking vasectomies to get their wives’ written consent before the physician will perform the procedure Yeah, it's literally not a decision you can make. You can't walk into a doctors office and ask for a hysterectomy just because you want one. You need to have a preexisting medical condition, generally to do with excessive bleeding. It's major surgery unlike tubal ligation, vasectomy etc. Where is that stat about 1 in 8 women needing a hysterectomy from?	/r/MensRights	15/03/12 04:11 AM
1	Many doctors require men seeking vasectomies to get their wives’ written consent before the physician will perform the procedure I see where you're coming from and I'm not trying to be argumentative but my point is that you can't actually decide to have an hysterectomy. It's not an option. You can only get one if it is medically necessary, as in the case of cancer or severe bleeding. It would be like requesting that a doctor remove any other body part just because you felt you weren't going to be using it any more.	/r/MensRights	15/03/12 03:43 AM
1	Many doctors require men seeking vasectomies to get their wives’ written consent before the physician will perform the procedure I said relatively high mortality rate, as in compared to other procedues such as tubal ligation or vasectomy etc and my mistake, 4-6 weeks not months. Sources below. Bottom line is that it's a severe opertion that is rarely done for sterilisation alone. Not really an option, especially given the side effects. www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2585770/?tool=pmcentrez http://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6736%2800%2902577-0/fulltext onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/j.147…	/r/MensRights	15/03/12 03:17 AM

It's a huge procedure with a relatively high mortality rate that takes 4-6 months to recover from and frequently causes premature menopause, vaginal prolapse, incontinence and a reduction or elimination in vaginal lubrication. It's not just as simple as cutting out the inconvenient uterus and then having loads of happy infertile sex.	/r/MensRights	15/03/12 02:39 AM

You can kill a man, but you can't kill an idea.
