  • Title: Experience with vasectomy in Rajshahi.
    Author: Mafakhkharul Islam Ai M.
    Journal: Pak J Fam Plann; 1967; 1():57-66. PubMed ID: 12305226.
    Abstract:
    619 vasectomy cases in Rajshahi, Pakistan were followed. 2 failures in the series were reported. l2 of the patients experienced postoperative pain, tenderness, or swelling. There was 1 case of decreased libido, which was later attributed to causes other than the vasectomy. The preponderance of the acceptors were low-income illiterates 35-44 years of age and had 4-6 living children. It was found that family planning information was best communicated through a newtork of kinship in which a member had been sterilized. Since most of the acceptors were from the lowest socioeconomic class, a study of middle class values and motivation for family planning is recommeded.
