In the Nordic countries, Finland leads the sterilization statistics, but the proportion of men is smaller than in the other countries. In 1995, a project was started where men are offered vasectomy as an option of contraception. Vasectomy is a short, typical outpatient, easy-to-do operation. Only topical anaesthesia and a short sick leave are needed. Vasectomy is an efficient and cheap contraceptive method. After the operation, the sexual functions remain unchanged. Since there is hidden need for increasing vasectomy, what we need is more publicity and information. Neither clients nor professionals have enough knowledge about this method.
