Vasectomy
A vasectomy is the surgical procedure performed on men in which the vas deferens (the tubes that carry the sperm from the testicles to the seminal vesicles) are cut, ties or cauterized.
The semen no longer contains sperm after the tubes are cut, so conception cannot occur. The testicles continue to produce sperm, but they die and are absorbed by the body.
There are 4 types of vasectomies:
Traditional vasectomy – the doctor will make an incision on the scrotum, allowing access to the vas deferens, which will then be cut.
No-scalpel vasectomy – the doctor cut the vas deferens via a small hole on the scrotum.
Clip vasectomy – small clamps are used to block the vas deferens instead of severing it.
Laser vasectomy – the vase deferens are cut and cauterized with a surgical laser
The vasectomy procedure prevents the release of sperm when a man ejaculates. The man will still produce semen, but will be sperm free.
Vasectomies may be reversed, however, this procedure should be considered permanent as there is no guarantee of successful reversal.
Following the procedure, ice packs are often applied to the scrotum to reduce swelling and decrease pain and the wearing of a scrotal supporter for 3-4 days.
Mild over-the-counter medications such as aspirin or acetaminophen should be able to control any discomfort.
A semen specimen will be examined and found to be free of sperm after at least a month from the procedure before the male can rely on the vasectomy for birth control
Vasectomies are more than 99% effective assuming that there is no sperm in the semen.
