“Today, I no longer want this power given to me to carry life”.
The assertion is radical… but not illegitimate for Julie, 29, already a mother of three little girls and who aspires, after having thought about it carefully, to permanent sterilization.
The problem is that of the nine doctors she consulted for this purpose, not one followed up!
“You are too young,” they systematically replied.
Her husband is also denied a vasectomy
What despair poor Julie, who has already undergone several abortions and does not support any contraception: “I tried different pills, the hormonal IUD, the copper IUD.
All of them really had a super negative impact!
“, she laments.
What's worse is that when her husband, noting his wife's distress, took it into his head to undergo a vasectomy, several urologists refused it… on the pretext that he too was too young!
"The ninth – and last – gynecologist I saw told me outright that 'I was having a young girl's whim because I didn't want to break my head with the pill'", the young mother is indignant.
"I understand that doctors try to warn me that 'I don't know what the future holds for me.'
But what I do not understand is that they are so closed-minded on a consultation of barely ten minutes”.
