The number of men opting to undergo vasectomy doubled in one year from 248 in 2021 to 557 in 2022.
The Economic Survey Report 2023 released on Wednesday shows 334 men underwent vasectomy in 2020, 658 in 2019 and 646 in 2018.
“There was an increase in the uptake of permanent family planning methods with the number of women undergoing tubal ligation (TL)rising by 13.6 per cent to 4,107,” the report says.
ven though the uptake of TL went up in 2022 from 3,616 in 2021 it was a decrease from 4,435 in 2020, 8,971 in 2019 and 10,814 in 2018.
According to the report, the number of new clients for all the contraceptive methods declined during the period under review, except for pills and sterilization for both males and females.
“In 2022, Family Planning injections remained the most used method of contraception with 2.6 million clients followed by implants insertions with 1.1 million clients,” the report shows.
Vasectomy, or vasoligation, is an elective surgical procedure for male sterilisation or permanent contraception.
While women have many methods for preventing pregnancy, the options for men are limited to condoms or getting a vasectomy.
Some men think it is castration, while others think it is a painful and libido-killing procedure.
Despite the fears, vasectomies could be one of the most effective male birth control methods.
They are inexpensive and could therefore have a major impact on sustainable development and population growth.
But the procedure is misunderstood and as a result, poorly used.

No, just smart. If she says it's yours dial up Maury so she can hear
"You are not the father!!!"
I bet you are better off crashing those balls cause you don’t really need them! I suggest that if you can’t take care of your creation, don’t even think of dipping, crash them damn balls!
Men are not known for long term thinking or really thinking when it comes to the small head. They only realize the consequences when they are presented with the consequences. Ask Ruto https://nairobinews.nation.africa/ruto-child-out-of-wedlock/
Men, you don't need a vasectomy to prevent insemination, flomax works just fine. Pop a pill daily and your ejaculations will be all dry, no hassle. And it's reversible, anytime you stop taking.
I was snipped two years ago and so have have a couple of my friends. Couldn't be happier with the peace of mind that goes along with it. A lawyer who represents very high net worth individuals in Nairobi says that 80% of his male clients are snipped.
Isn’t that simply being a coward cause you don’t wanna be a slave of your future baby mama paying child support etc?!?
