Answer 2

Sterilisation techniques are surgical procedures in which, in males, vas deferens are cut and tied and in females, Fallopian tubes are cut and tied, preventing gamete transport, Even though it is very effective it is often used as a last option by most couples. First, because it is almost irreversible. Second, because of some misconceptions like absence of ejaculation and lowering of sexual urge. Third, because it is a surgical procedure, there is certain risk of infection. Last but not the least, there is lack of sufficient facilities in many parts of our country (e.g., lack of hygiene, lack of qualified personnel etc.)
