“…Men need to understand that they will not be infertile. 16 To sum up, we would like to say that majority of men; whether educated or illiterate, rich or poor, belonging to any religion or region are afraid to get sterilized due to one or another reason. Therefore our efforts should be directed more towards eliminating and striking on their fear then to waste resources incentivizing and just popularizing the procedure.…”

“…The reason for this inclusion was that many currently pregnant women might want the current conception to be their last. Hence, not including these women tend to underestimate the demand for a permanent method of contraception [17].…”

This paper analyzes data from a population-based survey fielded in Sri Lanka, which showed that almost half of the women interested in using Norplant contraceptive subdermal implants were actually those who wanted to limit childbearing, a pattern also found in international Norplant clinical studies. A comparison between recently sterilized women and professed limiters of potential Norplant users showed the limiters to be socio-economically and demographically a significantly different group of women from those sterilized. Among several variables analyzed, the most important factor distinguishing the two groups was their relative economic status. Further comparison of the limiters with professed spacers interested in using Norplant showed that the spacers were yet another distinct category of women, the most important characteristic distinguishing between the two groups being the total number of living children. The preliminary results suggest that the Norplant implants system is not necessarily a substitute for sterilization; it appears potentially a popular method among those who want no more children but are not ready to accept sterilization. These findings that the potential Norplant implant users represent different gradients of women in the population have implications for provider counseling and user satisfaction as well as continuation.

“…Thus, it is programmatically important to assess its demographic effectiveness in terms of number of births averted on a population basis (Ross, Hong & Huber, 1985). The cost-effectiveness should also be evaluated in terms of dollars saved per birth averted.…”

The demand for postpartum sterilisation (performed within 42 days after delivery), is increasing both in developed and developing countries. The incidence of regret after postpartum sterilisation is important, but it could be minimised by carefully screening risk factors. Using trained paramedical personnel to perform postpartum sterilisation via minilaparotomy where physicians are in short supply appears to be safe and acceptable, under close medical supervision. Including postpartum sterilisation information in the antenatal counselling services effectively strengthens postpartum services and simultaneously helps to minimise subsequent regret.
