Elective sterilization started to spread rather late in Flanders. Despite the sharp increase of this contraceptive method since the end of the 1970s, its frequency is still lower than in many neighbouring countries and much lower than in the US and Canada, mainly due to the lag in male sterilization. Further increase in contraceptive sterilization and a greater participation of men is expected in the near future.
选择性绝育在佛兰德地区的传播起步较晚。尽管自20世纪70年代末以来这种避孕方法的使用急剧增加，但其普及率仍低于许多邻国，远低于美国和加拿大，主要原因是男性绝育方面存在滞后。预计在不久的将来，避孕绝育的普及率将进一步提高，男性的参与度也会更高。
