'Female Vasectomy' Pilot Project Finds One Eager Supporter!

'Female vasectomy' now has one thrilled fan who's raving about the extremely short (15 minute) and almost painless sterilization procedure!

Mum-of-two Natalie Read, 37, opted for the Adiana treatment because she cannot take the Pill. She is the first woman in the UK to try it.

Vasectomy- Sterilisation Technique For Men
Vasectomy is an effective and safe form of birth control method in men where a part of the vas deferens is surgically cut and removed

"When I found out about Adiana being piloted I had no second thoughts. I am unable to take oral contraceptives and this option was the perfect choice for me. I think it's fantastic. I was expecting more discomfort but just feel a mild ache at the moment," the Scotsman quoted Read, a travel consultant, as saying.

The traditional means of sterilisation, known as bilateral tubal ligation, usually requires about five days of recovery.

However, patients who undergo the 15-minute Adiana procedure should be able to return to work within a day.

"The operation is on a par with a vasectomy because it is so quick and uncomplicated. A few days later I was able to spend a weekend in France," Read said.

Phil Robarts, consultant obstetrician and gynaecologist at St John's Hospital in Chelmsford, Essex, performed the procedure.

Female Snip Promises to Change Sterilization Techniques in Women
Scottish doctors have developed a new technique for women wanting to be sterilised - a 30-minute 'female snip'.

In traditional sterilisation, one or two cuts are made to the stomach, but Adiana is performed without cutting through the skin.

A tiny piece of silicon, the size of a grain of rice, is inserted in the fallopian tube and healthy tissue grows around it, causing a permanent blockage meaning eggs do not reach the womb. It leaves no scars.
