Vikram Khan, a 42-year-old father of...
Vikram Khan, a 42-year-old father of three and owner of a small auto repair shop, has a deep-seated commitment to his wife Aisha's well-being. After their third child, Aisha suffered severe postpartum depression and a pulmonary embolism linked to her pregnancy. Another pregnancy would be life-threatening. Vikram researched permanent options and, believing the burden should not fall on Aisha after what she endured, requested a vasectomy. However, due to a rare anatomical issue, it was not feasible. His and Aisha's gynecologist presented laparoscopic tubectomy as a safe, alternative permanent solution. Vikram was apprehensive about his wife undergoing another procedure but determined to protect her. The surgery was straightforward. He took over all household and childcare duties during Aisha's recovery, which took about 10 days for full comfort. Emotionally, he moved from initial guilt and anxiety to feeling like an active, empowered partner in safeguarding his family's future, strengthening their bond.
