Myths and Facts About Vasectomies: What Every Man Should Know

What is a Vasectomy?

A Vasectomy is a surgical procedure that blocks or cuts the tubes that carry sperm from your testicles to your penis. It's usually done in an outpatient surgery center or doctor's office, and you can go home the same day.
A Vasectomy is considered permanent birth control because it prevents sperm from reaching the semen. A man who has had a vasectomy will still produce semen, but it won't contain any sperm. This means he can't father children after having one done--but he can still enjoy sex!

Are Vasectomies Reversible?

Are Vasectomies Reversible?
Yes, but it's not as simple as just reversing the procedure. The success rate of reversal surgery is low and depends on many factors, including:

What Are the Risks and Complications?

The procedure itself is relatively safe, but there are some potential complications that you should be aware of before going under the knife.

Is a Vasectomy Right for Me?

If you are considering a vasectomy, it's important to understand the pros and cons of the procedure. Vasectomies are effective at preventing pregnancy, but they do not prevent transmission of sexually transmitted diseases (STDs). If you're in a monogamous relationship with someone who has been tested for STDs and is free from infection, then a vasectomy may be right for you.
If you're considering getting a vasectomy but have concerns about potential side effects or complications, talk with your doctor about other options such as condoms or birth control pills.

How Effective is a Vasectomy?

The success rate of a vasectomy is very high, but it's important to know that it's not 100%. For example, if you have sex with someone who has not had a vasectomy or any other form of contraception and your semen comes into contact with their vaginal fluids at the time of ovulation (the release of an egg), there is still a chance that pregnancy could occur. This is because there may be some sperm left in your ejaculate after surgery which can fertilize an egg if it reaches the uterus before it dies.
It's also important to note that even if you do everything right after surgery--including using another form of birth control until you've confirmed success--there are still some risks involved with having unprotected sex until your doctor confirms successful sterilization

What to Expect After a Vasectomy

After a vasectomy, you can expect to experience some changes in sexual function. These changes are usually temporary and may include:

Conclusion

Vasectomies are a safe, effective form of permanent birth control. They're also one of the most cost-effective methods available for men who don't want to use condoms or other forms of birth control.
Most men who choose this procedure have already had children and don't want any more, but some choose it as their first line of defense against unintended pregnancy. If you're considering getting a vasectomy, contact your Urologist to discuss treatment options.
