Even though doctors are usually more receptive to men getting sterilized than women, some childfree men do get pushback. I think one of the biggest problems is the widely perpetuated misconception that vasectomies are reversible. I always hear someone mention this nonsense every time I see a conversation about it, and it’s NOT true in most cases. The number of people who believe and perpetuate it is probably one of the biggest things that hurts childfree men who already know this and specifically want a vasectomy for that reason. It makes doctors think their patients haven’t thought it through completely.
