Men’s Health: What is Vasectomy?

Vasectomy is a surgical procedure for permanent birth control in the males. It is the surgical cut made in the vas deference (the tube that carries sperms from the testis).

In comparison to female sterilization (tubectomy) vasectomy is a simple office procedure requiring just about half an hour

Indications

When a married couple decides not to have any more children and are very sure about the decision.
When a married couple have some genetic disorder in either or both, and do not want to pass this to their offspring
Complications of Vasectomy

Generally no serious complications, some may have a mild infection or swelling and pain. Rarely the vas deferens may join together and may lead to pregnancy.
Have no doubts!!!
Vasectomy does not interfere with erection or orgasm or ejaculation
Does not prevent sexually transmitted disease (insist on a condom)
One is not sterile immediately after vasectomy
It takes about 3 months (due to live sperms in storage)
So use contraceptives for the duration.
Procedure of Vasectomy

Done under local anaesthesia
A small cut in the scrotum is made and a tie and cut of small piece of vas deferens It can be done without a cut called (non scalpel vasectomy) where no stitches are needed One can return to work after a few days

Good as it sounds, tell us psychological effects of the same on men. Awe, uwandi alasunga ayakwe mwe just as naine ukwisalisha ubufyashi patali. Good advise for the courageous and easily taken.
