I am due for a sterilization operation and wanted to know about affordable healthcare options available with regard to this procedure. Also what is the recovery time?

Affordable healthcare options for steralisation are avilable in India, Thailand and Mexico for more details please let us know the place or country that would be convienient for you to undergo treatment.

Recovery Period : Generally after a short period of observation the patients are released to go home. You can return to your regular routine activities in 2 to 3 days time.

Mexico sounds exciting as I can then opt for a medical tourism package. What would be the cost for the procedure including hospitalization?

Hello Arti!

Affordable healthcare facilities for sterilization are there in India, Thailand, Phillipines, and Mexico.

You should be able to go home after a few hours of the operation. Just make sure that there is someone along with you to look after you as the effect of anesthesia takes quite some time to wear off completely.

Normally you should be able to resume normal activity within a couple of days of the operation.

The cost of sterilization procedure in Mexico is approximately $50-$100. This doesn't include the cost of hospital stay and travel expenses.

You wouldn't require a hospital stay for a routine sterilization procedure. Incase you are made to stay for a couple of days that would add $100-150 to the cost.

Hope this answers your question.<br><br>Post edited by: credo, at: 2007/02/10 05:47

Hi everyone. Just want to know the risk factors involved with this procedure? And does Mexico offer cheap healthcare as compared to the other countries aforementioned?

You can refer to http://www.reproline.jhu.edu/English/6read/6multi/tgwg/tgfs__e-03.htm to get info about risk factors.

Yes, Mexico also offers cheap healthcare but it will be around the same price range as that offered in India/Thailand.
