<28-year-old unmarried woman explains why she chose to have her fallopian tubes removed>
One Twitter user recently sparked a debate by revealing that she decided to have her fallopian tubes removed and explained her reasoning behind not wanting to have children.
@TrixieNumba9 shared her struggles with medical professionals when she expressed her desire to have her fallopian tubes removed as a young, unmarried woman without children. She faced discouragement as the medical personnel found it uncommon for someone in her position to opt for such a drastic measure.
She was repeatedly told that she might change her mind in the future or meet a partner whom she would want to have children with. However, this only strengthened her determination to pursue the procedure. She firmly asserted her decision, emphasizing that she knew she would never change her mind, as she had no desire to have children.
When questioned about who would take care of her in old age, her response was that she deemed it selfish to have children solely for that purpose.
She explained that she had known since the age of 16 that she never wanted children and believed that having them would only make her unhappy.
Finally, on May 23, 2019, she achieved her goal: “On May 23rd, 2019, I got my Fallopian tubes removed & started my child free lifestyle journey.”
She also highlighted that there are other women who share her desire to remain child-free but are often shamed into conforming to society’s expectations.
Her revelation incited a debate, with some supporting her decision, stating that it is better to be certain about not wanting children rather than getting pregnant and resorting to abortion. On the other hand, some criticized her choice, labeling it as selfish.
