Usually there are many questions both men and their wives are interested in. The questions should be discussed with a doctor. The couple should be well informed and educated concerning a vasectomy or any procedure to make a right decision and to choose the best solution.
People are interested what a vasectomy is. It is a minor surgical procedure performed by urologic surgeons to make a man sterile. It is considered to be one of the most popular forms of contraception in the United States and in the world due to its safety, simplicity and high effectiveness. During the procedure there is cutting the vas deferens, the small tube caring sperm from the man's testicles to become part of his semen. The man can have sexual intercourse and climax as before the operation, but his semen does not include sperm and the possibility of making a woman pregnant is much reduced.
People are also interested what a "No-Scalpel" vasectomy is. (NSV) It is one of two main methods surgeons apply to conduct a vasectomy. The No-Scalpel method is more popular, because a scalpel is not necessary and the incisions are not available (only one or two small punctures in the skin). The NSV causes less discomfort and the risk of having bleeding or infection is less. Besides, there is no perceptible scaring.
The duration of No-Scalpel procedure is about 15 minutes or less. The total time spent in a doctor's office may be about an hour, because of the office routine, paperwork and preparation. During the first two or three days one can observe tenderness, discomfort and slight swelling. One can return to usual life typically during a week, when the doctor's instructions are followed.
A No-Scalpel vasectomy is regarded as the most effective means of protection from pregnancy. It can be ineffective only in less than one percent. (By the way, latex condoms can be ineffective in 12 percent or more; diaphragms can be ineffective in18 percent.) A vasectomy can provide 99 percent of high reliability and effectiveness.
Vasectomy is a good way to prevent pregnancy. As soon as a vasectomy is conducted, sperm remain active in the semen for a period of 15 to 20 ejaculations within the period of some weeks before your semen is avoid of sperm. The semen will be tested by a doctor within several times over some weeks, and inform you about the completeness of the vasectomy. It usually lasts during two months.
It is interested to know what happens to the sperm. The answer is quite simple. The body absorbs unused sperm cells normally; it does not matter if a vasectomy had occurred. As soon as the procedure had occurred, the testicles will go on producing sperm, but the semen is not left in the body. They dissolve and are in a simple and natural way absorbed by the body.
Sex life is not affected by a vasectomy. Such method of birth control only blocks sperm and does not influence man’s sexual drive, the ability to have an erection, orgasm or ejaculation or the man’s ability to have and enjoy sexual contacts. Sperm is considered to be only a small part of the total liquid in man’s semen. The absence of sperm does not influence the quantity of fluid, intensity, its color and texture. Male hormones go on in the bloodstream, and they do not change the beard or voice. Sometimes sexual life after the procedure gets better, because the couple cannot worry how to prevent undesired pregnancy.
A No-Scalpel vasectomy costs from $400 to $1,200 but, fortunately, many health insurance programs cover this cost if it is provided. Before being insured, ask if such surgical operations are covered with insurance.
The risks or complications from the procedure are insignificant due to its high safety and can be easily cured. Among possible complications there is a possibility of infection, bleeding or transient bruising, temporary swelling or fluid accumulation. After the procedure pain, occurred as a dull ache, resulted from a pressure on the miniature tubes of the epididymis, is available. Such complications are treated successfully with medication, but it is recommended sometimes to have the epididymis taken away.
