● Transcervical k,→ k,flexible k,agents k,are k,placed k,into k,the k,fallopian k,tubes k,which k,causing k,therefore k,leading k,to k,occlusion k,of k,the k,fallopian
k,tubes. k,This k,procedure k,can k,be k,done k,without k,the k,use k,of k,general k,anesthesia. k,Effectiveness k,takes k,up k,to k,3 k,months. k,Client k,must k,take
k,contraceptives k,for k,the k,first k,3 k,months k,until k,the k,provider k,knows k,whether k,the k,tubes k,are k,blocked k,or k,not. k,Not k,for k,PP k,patients
○ Risks:
■ Perforation
■ Increased k,risk k,for k,ectopic k,pregnancy k,if k,one k,were k,to k,occur
● Tubal k,ligation k,→ k,done k,under k,general k,anesthesia. k,Sever k,or k,burn k,the k,fallopian k,tubes k,to k,prevent k,fertilization. k,It k,can k,be k,done k,PP
○ Risks:
■ General k,complications k,that k,occur k,with k,general k,anesthesia
■ Increased k,risk k,for k,ectopic k,pregnancy k,if k,one k,were k,to k,occur
○ Advantages
■ Permanent, k,immediate k,contraception
■ This k,method k,can k,be k,done k,within k,24-48 k,hours k,after k,childbirth
■ Sexual k,function k,is k,unaffected
■ Decreases k,the k,incidence k,of k,ovarian k,cancer
○ Disadvantages
■ Does k,not k,protect k,against k,STIs
■ Risks k,related k,to k,anesthesia, k,complications, k,hemorrhage, k,and k,trauma
■ Considered k,irreversible

● Vasectomy k,→ k,sever k,the k,ves k,deferons. k,Alternative k,form k,of k,contraception k,will k,need k,to k,be k,used k,for k,about k,20 k,ejaculations k,in k,order k,for k,the
k,sperm k,to k,empty k,out k,the k,rest k,of k,the k,ves k,deferens.
○ Testing k,for k,sperm k,count k,is k,important
○ Can k,be k,reversible

○ Then k,turn k,to k,the k,female
■ Hysterosalpingography k,→ k,checks k,for k,the k,patency k,of k,the k,fallopian k,tubes k,using k,contrast k,die. k,We’re k,shooting k,die k,up k,the k,fallopian
k,tubes k,to k,make k,sure k,they’re k,open k,and k,not k,occluded k,in k,any k,way. k,Check k,for k,shellfish k,or k,iodine k,allergy
