Question. I am 34 years old and my husband is 36. We have three kids and have decided to go in for permanent birth control which is 100 per cent foolproof. We've read about male vasectomy, tubal litigation or the IUD methods but they all have a 99 per cent chance of success. We don't want to take any more chances. If we opt for any of these options will we have to continue using condoms? Are there any other options available, that don't have side effects?
Answer. Is there anything in this world which is 100 per cent safe? Ninety nine per cent protection is worth taking. In the very rare case of a pregnancy, a medical method for termination with tablets is available. The plus side is, you are free from any contraception.
