Ectopic pregnancy is only a potential complication in Tubal Ligations. Not in Vasectomies. Anything that obstructs the fallopian tubes increases the risk of ectopic pregnancy, because the fertilized egg will be unable to travel to the uterus, and will implant (usually) in the fallopian tube. Tubal ligation does this but it should keep sperm from passing as well, just not always. Vasectomies act on the vas deferens in the male so there's no increased risk of ectopic pregnancy.

@@lambda653 tying or removing the fallopian tubes is not the same as removing the ovaries themselves. That would have further implications and is usually only done for various medical reasons rather than "just" family planning. As for why some people opt for more permanent forms of birth control? Because they are permanent. Because they can't be taken away by an overbearing government declaring pills suddenly illegal, because you can't forget to take them once and mess up your protection for the whole month (the pill is very time critical), because some people absolutely get a fuck ton of side effects on pills or other hormonal BC...

⁠​⁠@@lambda653For my spouse, it was a few factors: 1) Hormonal birth control _wasn’t_ side-effect-free for them and caused a bunch of changes in behavior and health 2) They had fertility problems anyway, so even if we did want biological kids, it was going too be an uphill battle 3) They have a chronic disease that would make getting pregnant risky for both them and the baby So for them, pregnancy was never going to be a realistic option, and the alternatives weren’t working well, so they just wanted the risk eliminated. But obviously that’s not true for most people. And, anecdotally, very few people get tubal ligations compared to using reversible or temporary forms of birth control, specifically for the reasons you listed. Even for my spouse, who was 95% sure they were never going to want to be pregnant, permanent birth control wasn’t the first thing they tried. (Relayed with permission from my spouse)

​@@lambda653 BE AWARE IT'S ALL MY OWN EXPERIENCE! NOT PROFESSIONAL ADVICE. please, I have newly started taking those pills, it's my second month so the effect should be full effect, i feel like a trash bag sometimes because of it, (it does says side effects can cause so many things in the video, but there are waaaay more side effects than that little ) so generally I feel good, but after I started taking the pills my overall mood, and sensitiveness went worse. I feel so sad and in pain bc of things so much more easily, I am not as happy, i cry more. But general mood swings are in the "it's probably still okay to take kind of side effect" list. 1. I generally know myself as a strong stomached person, I can even eat food when it's bad, and still not puke (I rarely eat those kind of food, It’s just that at first i don’t notice just after a few spoons, or something), when have a very strong compulsion to gag (while having a sick throat) still not puking, nothing is coming up my stomach easily. After I started taking those pills? I start my day feeling not good, drink a few sip water or tea AND THROW IT ALL UP, no food thrown up, just liquid. WHY?! it's been years since i puked and now in a month i puked twice? I blamed the first one on feeling really awful but the second time cannot be blamed on anything else. ( i continued drinking the rest, and yes the water and the tea was perfectly fine, my bladder and shit was fine with it even after I threw up in the morning ) SO LIKE, do you wish to randomly throw up and feel really really shit in the morning once or twice in a month just because? any way 2. ye the moodswings, rather sensitiveness, I feel so much more like crying, because of things that didn't even make a chance to make me care for them. Why am I like this? 3. It made my menstruation shit. it does say a side effect like "clungy" menstruation. but its more like.. it started 6 days earlier, and it's been going for 12 days already, i do feel like it can go longer than 2 weeks (, just mentioning a menstruation cycle is usually 28 days long). I do feel generally worse on when menstruating, and the tablet only gives me a week break to let the body flush out it's ... thing. still it writes it still has full effect in that pill free week as it's description says so, i wish no one, a worse menstruation on an already bad menstruation (i generally have fine menstruation it's just so much hormonal stress that i can not take as well that even thinking about it can make me cry) Its description says when after starting taking it, menstruation disorientation exists for several months, check up with doc and stop taking pills immediately. (also i did ask my doctor, if i can make the pill takings more.. flexible, like a longer wait for my period or, shorter maybe, but the answer for a longer wait was a strictly no, and the pills description said i can start take it earlier ) 4. Many or some woman can't take this pill, especially ppl with thrombosis. They'll probably die from it. here are some serious side effects that MY birth control pill says: retinal vein thrombosis: - instant blindness - painless blurry vision, that can go to blindness heart attack: (i don't really know medical english, sorry) - pain in chest, discomfort, English words I don't remember. - in the place of heart, feeling pressure there or fullness (okay i can't really translate all of it, but it's saying a bunch physical discomfort like things, like heavy breathing and out of breath all the time) stroke: (it is a longer list than the heart attack, but it is generally a heart attack but with your brain :D) -face, arm or legs suddenly feeling numb, or weak - sudden confusion, and/ or confusion in speaking - suddenly walking problem, walking like a drunk person. (technically) - serious, very serious headache - passing out (with a bunch of side effects, they will not pass out like a disney princess) blood clots blocking other blood vessels: -swelling and slight bluish discoloration of the limb -serious stomach ache. angioedema: -face, tongue, or/and throat swelling or/and swallowing difficulties with even breathing difficulties. deep blood vessel thrombosis. - (generally when your leg more reminds you of a 5 year old’s leg on a vacation place they never been (they fell and stand up so much)) lungemboli: like.. between dying of not getting air, and having a cold and drunk a poison that makes you cough up blood.. that’s it’s description. tbh. I'm not that scared of that, bc they don't have a high chance of happening here’s a list of “don’t take this tablet” list: (of you or a close relative of yours have any of: every sickness through depression, skin cancer, liver problems, with even epilepsy and allergies) o-o i just don’t think a person exists where their whole family is as healthy as can be through several generations. so I can probably just link the joke video of this joke meds, where it gives you all the side effects and doesn’t do anything good to your body. Because, this really doesn’t heal anything, it just makes you unable to reproduce.. so.. uh. ye. What's bothering, is the list that are considered common side effects. (1 out of 10) - acne - headache -stomachache - moodswings -breast pain/growth/sensitiveness, painful or unorganized menstruation, (nvm not even menstruation, just general bleeding down there) -weight growth there are uncommon side effects: (1 out of 100) and rare ones (1 out of 1000) with a list of everything. it does contains my mentioned problems. I am not happy. i would not take this pill a second longer if i get worse side effects I can write a 5th reason I will soon stop taking this. The uncommon list contains the pharyngitis which I just woke up with this morning. (it’s summer here, you can only get such painful throat in winter, this pill is bs) I am meeting up with my doctor soon. it is not "just taking a pill".

@MinuteEarth: Really good video in general and with all the political efforts regarding banning certain birth controls etc. around the world you're doing a great service in simply educating people unbiasedly! I think you missed the mark with the table at @3:07, though. Marking condoms, hormonal birth control and IUDs with the same green colored "Yes" in terms of their reversibility is doing an educational disservice, in my opinion. Maybe you can edit the graphic and add a third option in yellow for a more nuanced answer!? While condoms are literally the most reversible option of birth control, IUDs usually need a medical procedure and the side effects of hormonal birth control can take weeks to months to fully reverse.

85% does not mean for single use, these numbers are based on how likely it is over an entire year of regular sex to get pregnant. Defects in condoms can occur. However, that 85% number is just one of many. Most sources are around the mid 90%. Still, it is not totally reliable on its own and if you to 100% don't want a kid, you should combine it with other methods

When talking about the effectiveness of birth control, the percentage refers to the amount of couples that get pregnant after a year of using a specific birth control method. So, a 95% effectiveness, means that, in studies, 5 couples out of 100 got pregnant within a year by using that method of contraception. Now, there are some very obvious flaws with that metric, but it's very difficult to quantise exactly how effective a method of contraception is, because of all the variables involved in reproduction and sex.

The metrics of birth control are kinda wild. The short version is, there are studies tracking couples who use a specific method for a year and then they count how many of them get pregnant regardless. The metric then emerges from a meta study which basically averages a bunch of those studies. And that's your effectiveness number. With condoms, your single point of failure is just a thin membrane. As long as it holds, it is extremely effective. But when it breaks, it's free real estate all over again.

It should say potential side-effects. Not everyone gets these and it's not like you get all of them if any happen. Also worth noting that side-effects might not have anything to do with the substance itself. The side-effects are reported in a way that they get into to the list if person is experiencing them while on the substance. So for example if you happen to have say headache for totally unrelated reasons, it gets added to potential side-effects. That is one major reason why nearly every drug has basically every possible side-effect. You should take a note on the rarity of it. If it's common then it likely is caused by that substance. If it's very rare, then it likely was something else causing it. Like for example seizure might have been caused by epilepsy someone also happened to have. This is true for every drug, not just birth control.

The copper iud is not hormonal as seen in your chart. Also easily removable is not a good term. It should just be removable. Lastly the side effects are not correct. I honestly expect better from minute earth…

What do you expect from a channel that says "egg producers" instead of women? The black-rock sponsored alphabet mafia has had their influence in this channel for a while now, don't expect quality content from them.

@@napiski2260 It really is hilarious though. I just rewatched the video paying extra attention to the words used. And the very first sentence they say is "You can think of ovaries and testicles as factories that produce eggs and sperm". So immediately, the word factory is established as a metaphor to accentuate the functions. You're the one making connections that quite simply are not there. And your first course of action when you are challenged is to call me a "cultist". I heavily suggest you exercise some self reflection. One of the defining traits of cultists is an unwillingness to challenge their world view to the point that they act hostile towards any challenge. Which is exactly what you did here my friend
