Interviewer instructions
Ascertain if the ER has had ligation or (if applicable) her partner has had vasectomy. If the ER has had ligation or her partner has had vasectomy, encircle '1' for 'Yes'. In this case, the ER is currently using a family planning method, hence, code 1 for 'Yes' should be encircled in Question 8. Ligation/female sterilization (06) or vasectomy/male sterilization (07) should be answered in Question 11. If the ER never had a ligation or (if applicable) her partner a vasectomy, encircle '2' for 'No' and proceed to the next question.
Description
Text
Vasectomy is a relatively minor operation (compared to ligation) done on men for contraceptive purposes. It is a permanent method performed on men by means of tying or cutting the vas deferens so that the sperm will not mix with the semen.
Tubal ligation is a permanent method to avoid pregnancy by means of tying or cutting the fallopian tubes, preventing the egg from flowing to the uterus. Note that hysterectomy or the removal of the uterus (womb) or ovaries, is not considered as female sterilization.
