This should be higher up and have better visibility. A relative of mine had the procedure and developed severe chronic pain. His pain was minimized and hand-waved by doctors and relatives, and it was just generally shitty to watch him go through that. There are always risks and complications when it comes to surgery, I’m not sure I’d be willing to take a 1 in 1000 or greater chance of developing a complication like that instead of using other contraceptive methods in conjunction with birth control if my partner can be on it.
