Approximately 35,000 vasectomies were performed in the Netherlands in 2004. Although vasectomy may be looked upon as the most reliable method of contraception (risk of pregnancy in the first year: 0.08-0.15%), realistic preoperative counselling about possible complications such as haemorrhage (5%), wound infection (5%), and haematoma (14%) and long-term consequences such as the wish for renewed fertility (2.6% of the men opt for vasectomy reversal), the delayed achievement of sterility (4% three months after vasectomy), chronic scrotalgia (5%) and the risk of recanalisation (0.28-00.5%) is of utmost importance. Moreover, the couple should be convinced that vasectomy can only be considered successful if less than 100,000 non-motile sperms per ml are demonstrated by a certified laboratory in a post-vasectomy semen analysis. As an alternative for vasectomy, several clinical studies to assess the value of male hormonal contraception are currently in progress.

Compared to neighboring countries, the Philippines has high fertility rates and a low prevalence of modern-method contraception use. The Philippine government faces political and cultural barriers to addressing family planning needs, but also legal barriers erected by its own policies. We conducted a review of laws and policies relating to family planning in the Philippines in order to examine how the law may facilitate or constrain service provision. The methodology consisted of three phases. First, we collected and analyzed laws and regulations relating to the delivery of family planning services. Second, we conducted a qualitative interview study. Third, we synthesized findings to formulate policy recommendations. We present a conceptual model for understanding the impact of law on public health and discuss findings in relation to the roles of health care provider regulation, drug regulation, tax law, trade policies, insurance law, and other laws on access to modern-method contraceptives.
