vascectomy vs tubal

vascectomy vs tubal

I am 55 and my fiancee is 50.  I had a vascetomy in 1973, and a reversal in 1979.  My fiancee is premenapausal, in that she still has periods, but they arrive anywhere from 28 days to 45 days apart.

She was prepared to have a tubal ligation, but it is my understanding that a vascectomy is a simpler proccedure, and is also less costly.  Is this information correct?  If so, are there any other things we should take into consideration in regards to any added problems we might encounter related to our ages and medical history?

A vasectomy is a simpler procedure and probably less costly.  The tubal is done in the hospital.  My husband had a vasectomy a couple years ago.  So it is correct what you said.  

I wasn't sure how to answer the last part because I wasn't sure what you meant.
