I am 18 and would like a vasectomy

Why can't I find a vasectomy expert in Switzerland to sterilize me? According to the Swiss legal code, sterilization is permitted from the age of 18. I have various interests but definitely no paternal duties. I certainly don't want to rely on the woman's contraception. If anyone knows a safe address, please write. Thank you!

Hello Pascal

Yes, I know that this is very difficult to have done at your age. There is a sexual health advice center in every canton, they often have contact with hospitals and doctors. https://www.sexuelle-gesundheit.ch/beratungsstellen

If you would like to use your own contraception, there is the thermal contraceptive method, for example. This allows you to control your fertility and you are not dependent on other people's contraception.
