Vasectomies halved in ten years as abortions rise


The number of men having vasectomies has halved in a decade and may be the reason behind a rise in abortions among women in their 30s and early 40s, experts have said. Men may be more reluctant to have the procedure as a permanent contraceptive because of the increased likelihood of marriage breakdown and a second relationship.

Financial constraints on the NHS may also have contributed to the drop as the health service attempts to save money by rationing non-essential operations. The number of vasectomies conducted by the NHS in England has dropped from 37,700 in 2001/1 to 15,106 last year. Meanwhile the number of abortions carried out on women aged over 30 has increased by ten per cent. The abortion rate for women aged 30 to 44 was 9.1 per 1000 women in England and Wales in 2001. In 2011 it was 10 per 1000 women in England and Wales

The link between vasectomy rates and the number of abortions for older women is also seen in France where relatively few vasectomies are done but abortions for older women are more common. Traditionally around 16 per cent of men under the age of 70 have undergone the procedure in England and the abortion rate for women over 30 has been relatively low.

Ann Furedi, chief executive of bpas said: “Vasectomy is a safe and reliable method that gives men the opportunity to play an active role in contraception. "It is disappointing that the only long term method which enables men to play this part is declining. We must ensure that all couples who want to use this method can access it promptly on the NHS, while recognising that it won’t be for everyone. Creating more choice is vital. "We sincerely hope that the research into creating a reversible male contraceptive that is currently underway results in a method that will have a real impact on the involvement of men in family planning.” She said the emphasis on long-acting contraceptive methods for women, such as the coil and implant, may also have had an effect on vasectomy rates.

    Hοwevеr, whаt about this?
    what if you compoѕed a catchier post title?
    I ain't suggesting your content is not solid., but what if you added a post title to maybe get folk's attention?
    I mеan "Vasectomies halved in ten years as abortions rise" iѕ а
    little vanilla. You should looκ at Υahοo's home page and watch how they create article headlines to grab people to open the links. You might add a video or a related picture or two to get people interested about what you've got to say.
    Just my opinion, it ωould make yοur postѕ a lіttle livelieг.
