    A vasectomy is a form of permanent birth control for men where the vas deferens are cut or blocked, preventing sperm from being released during ejaculation. The procedure is performed under local anesthesia by making small incisions to access the vas deferens and cut and seal the tubes. While vasectomy is over 99% effective, it takes 3 months for existing sperm to clear out before it is fully effective. Potential risks include swelling, bruising, bleeding, infection, and chronic pain, though long-term issues are rare. Vasectomy provides effective birth control without affecting sexual performance or activity.

    PERMANENT CONTRACEPTION:

    VASECTOMY
    🤔 WHAT IS VASECTOMY? 🤔

    • A vasectomy is a form of birth control. It prevents sperm from being released during
    ejaculation. During the procedure, the vas deferens are cut or blocked.
    • The vas deferens is the duct that carries sperm from the testicles to the urethra.
    • Although vasectomy is theoretically reversible, reversal doesn’t always work.
    • You should consider vasectomy only if you’re certain you don’t want to have
    children anymore.
    🤔 HOW IS IT PERFORMED? 🤔

    • A vasectomy must be performed in your doctor’s office or a medical facility.


    Make an appointment with your doctor to discuss if vasectomy is the right
    method of birth control for you.
    • In one method, the doctor makes two incisions to access the vas deferens on
    either side of the scrotum. In another method, the doctor makes a small hole to
    access both tubes. They then cut and seal the tubes. Then, the doctor places
    stitches if you need them.
    • Doctors usually perform vasectomy under local anesthesia. After the procedure,
    you’ll need to avoid sex and any strenuous activity for about a week.
    EXPLANATION
    🤔 HOW EFFECTIVE IS VASECTOMY?🤔

    • Vasectomy prevents pregnancy nearly 100 percent of the time. It’s the
    most effective birth control method for men.
    • However, vasectomy isn’t immediately effective. Existing sperm need
    to clear out of your system before it’s safe to have unprotected sex.
    This can take up to 3 months.
    • Your doctor will conduct a semen analysis so that you know when it’s
    safe to have sex. For this test, you’ll masturbate to provide a semen
    sample. They’ll examine it for the presence of any sperm.
    🤔 WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF
    VASECTOMY? 🤔

    • A vasectomy is an effective and permanent way to prevent pregnancy.


    It’s best for men who are certain they don’t want children. A vasectomy
    doesn’t have any lasting effects on sexual activity or performance.
    • Vasectomies are easier and less expensive than female sterilization.
    Couples who’ve decided against having future children should discuss
    their options with a doctor.
    😱 THE DISADVANTAGE😱

    • The main disadvantage of vasectomy is that it doesn’t protect against sexually


    transmitted infections.
    • Reversal may be possible in some circumstances, but it’s not always an option.
    Reversal is more complicated than the initial procedure.
    🤔 THE RISKS OF VASECTOMY🤔

    Potential short-term risks of vasectomy include:


    ️️ ️swelling
    ️ ️bruising
    ️ ️bleeding inside the scrotum
    ️ ️blood in the semen
    ️ ️infection
    Long-term issues that occur due to vasectomy are rare. They include:
    ️ ️fluid buildup in the testicle
    ️ ️chronic pain
    ️ ️pregnancy
