All About Vasectomy
Vasectomy is permanent birth control for men who have decided to stop having children because their families are big enough, or who do not want children at all
- It is nearly100% effective and intended to be permanent
- It does not limit sexual pleasure
How Vasectomy Works
- Vasectomy is a simple operation
- It DOES NOT AFFECT MASCULINITY -it will not affect your ability to get hard and stay hard
- No glands or organs are removed or altered
- Hormones and sperm continue being produced
- Your ejaculation will look just like it always did
Vasectomy is Low Risk Surgery
- With the no-scalpel method, the skin of the scrotum (balls) is not cut. One tiny hole is made to reach both tubes. The tubes are then tied off, cauterized, or blocked. The tiny hole heals quickly. No stitches are needed and no scarring takes place.
- The no-scalpel method reduces bleeding and decreases the possibility of infection, bruising, and other problems.
- As with any surgery, there is some discomfort after the operation. It will be different for each man. However, most men say the pain is slight or moderate as opposed to excessive (bad). An athletic supporter (jock strap), ice bag, and non-aspirin pain reliever may help ease the pain.
- It is recommended you avoid strenuous physical labor or exercise for three to five days.
- Most men start regular sexual activity within a week, but that depends on you when you feel comfortable enough to do so.
- Vasectomy is not immediately effective. Sperm remains in the system beyond the blocked tubes. You must use other birth control until the sperm are used up -that usually takes from 15-20 ejaculations
Potential problems include:
- Bleeding into the skin during surgery-this may cause bruises that will clear up by themselves
- Swelling [s] containing blood occurs in fewer than two out of 100 cases. They usually clear up by themselves with bed rest or ice packs.
- Sperm leak from the tubes and cause a small lump under the skin near the site of the operation in about 18 out of 100 cases. These lumps usually clear up by themselves.
- Mild infections occur in up to seven out of 100 cases. Rarely an abscess may develop. Treatment with antibiotics is successful.
- Very rarely the cut ends of the tubes grow back together. This most often happens within four months of the operation and may allow pregnancy to follow.
- Cancer Risks?-NO-There is no proven link between vasectomy and prostate cancer.
How Long Does It Take to Work?
- Vasectomy is not immediately effective. Sperm remains in the system beyond the blocked tubes. You must use other birth control until the sperm are used up-that usually takes from 15-20 ejaculations
- A simple test-semen analysis-shows when there is no more sperm in your seminal fluid. Put this up with the line about effectiveness.
- Rarely do tubes grow back together again and pregnancy occur. This happens in only one out of 1,000 cases in the first year.
- All health centers are prepared to provide information and counseling about permanent birth control.
