When it comes to contraceptive surgery there seems to be is no change in men’s mentality. Statistics of the past few years show that very few men opt for the surgery. In the year 2021-22, for every 100 women opting for tubectomy (women's contraceptive surgery), only one man underwent vasectomy (male contraceptive surgery) in Mumbai. In the year 2021-22, around 12,138 women had sterilisation surgery compared to 43 men. As per Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) health officials, men feel it's a woman's duty to get it done.

Sterilisation is one of the better options among all family planning measures. But in Mumbai, the statistics show a declining trend for this surgery. The city has witnessed an overall 44% drop in contraceptive surgeries in the past five years. In the year 2017-18, around 21,664 men and women underwent contraceptive surgery but in the year 2021-2022 till now only 12,181 men and women opted for the procedure.
