Scores of Men Get Vasectomies as an Act of Love, Will You Join Them?

Scores of Men Get Vasectomies as an Act of Love, Will You Join Them?

With so much controversy over abortions in the continuous debate on birth control, men have found a solution. Men across the nation are stepping up and taking the pressure off of the women in their lives. Here’s how they’re doing it and why you should consider stepping up with them. 

Men Are Bypassing the Birth Control Debate by Getting  Vasectomies as an Act of Love

Women have always been under a lot of pressure when it comes to birth control, especially in today’s political environment. For years, men have expected women to either take a birth control pill or get an abortion whenever birth control methods fail. This mindset has led to a serious imbalance. 

Most birth control pills give women undesirable side effects that can affect their quality of life. Do men have to take a birth control pill every day and suffer the side effects? No, they don’t. A vasectomy, however, is a more eloquent solution, one that countless men across the country are embracing. Getting a vasectomy solved the birth control problem. More importantly, it’s a birth control solution that doesn’t come with any adverse side effects.  

Of course, getting a vasectomy is something to be considered very carefully. It’s also a great way to take responsibility for birth control into your own hands. Getting a vasectomy takes the pressures of birth control off of your partner which is one of the reasons why more men are getting vasectomies today.

Vasectomies: 101

Vasectomies: 101

A vasectomy that can be performed at Z Urology, is a procedure that causes a man to no longer be able to get a woman pregnant. It involves cutting or blocking two tubes, called the vas deferens. This assures that sperm can no longer get into the semen.

Path to Improved Health

Vasectomies actually may be the safest, most effective form of birth control. About 1 or 2 out of 1,000 couples get pregnant the first year after a vasectomy is performed.

A vasectomy is usually done in a doctor’s office or in an outpatient surgery center. The operation typically takes about 30 minutes. You will be awake during the procedure and your doctor will give you a local anesthetic in the surgical area. The doctor will then remove a small section of the vas deferens, and seal it with small clamps. They do this on both sides. The punctures are so small that it heals without stitches.

How Should One Prepare for the Operation

There is not much prep that is necessary. Make sure the genital area is clean. Your doctor may give you instructions on how to clean the area before you come in. Your doctor may suggest you bring someone to drive you home after surgery.

What Can I Expect After the Operation

You may have some pain, swelling, and bruising in the area where the surgery was performed. The bruises should slowly lighten and be gone in about one-two weeks. You should feel totally back to normal within 1-2 weeks as well. The doctor will give instructions to follow after surgery. Instructions may include:

  • Wearing tight-fitting underwear or a jockstrap to support the scrotum
  • Using an ice pack to help with pain and swelling
  • Getting plenty of rest
  • Limiting yourself to light activity until you heal

When Can I Go Back to Work

If you have a desk job, you can expect to return to work after a couple of days. If you do physical labor, or walk or drive a lot, you will speak with the doctor about when you can go back to work.

Will the Vasectomy Work Right Away

No, not right away. You will need to ejaculate as many as 15 to 20 times or wait up to 3 months before the sperm will be cleared from both of the vas deferens. For that reason, if you are trying to avoid pregnancy, have your partner keep using birth control. The doctor will ask you to bring in samples of your ejaculation two or three months after the procedure. Only after having a sperm-free sample will you be considered unable to get a woman pregnant.

Can a Vasectomy Be Reversed

Yes, vasectomies can be undone or reversed. The surgery is a bit more difficult and is typically performed in a hospital.

What are the Risks of a Vasectomy

Problems that might occur after your vasectomy include bleeding, infection, and mild inflammatory reaction to sperm that may have gotten loose during the surgery (called sperm granuloma).

Another risk is that the ends of the vas deferens may find a way to create a new path to one another. This doesn’t occur very often. But if it does, you could be able to get a woman pregnant.

What Happens to the Sperm

Once sperm can’t get through the vas deferens, your testicles will make lesser sperm. Your body typically will absorb the sperm that are made.

Will a Vasectomy Affect My Sex Life

The great news is that after you have healed from the vasectomy, your sex life shouldn’t change at all. You’ll still ejaculate almost the same amount of semen as you did before, and you won’t notice any change in your sex drive.

When to See a Doctor

Call Dr. Z if you have any of the following:

  • You have a fever
  • You have swelling that won’t go down or keeps getting worse
  • You have trouble urinating
  • You can feel a lump forming in the scrotum

For those that are on the fence and want a good reminder of what exactly a vasectomy is and what it entails, a vasectomy is a surgery done by a doctor to which the small tubes in the scrotum that carry sperm are cut or blocked off, so sperm can’t leave your body and cause pregnancy.
