All About Vasectomies

There
is a good chance that if you are a female, you won't need to
visit a urologist if you've been keeping up a good hygiene
routine, barring an unforeseeable health issue development. But
if you are a male, there is quite a good chance that at some
point in your life, most likely during your middle-age years,
that you will have to go see a urologist- not because you are
ill or haven't been taking good hygienic care of yourself, but
because you will most likely need or want a vasectomy.

A vasectomy is a procedure in which the vasa deferential of the
male are severed and then tied or sealed such that sperm is
prevented from entering into the seminal stream and therefore
preventing ejaculation. Being a minimally invasive procedure
taking only about ten to thirty minutes to complete, patients
remain in minimal discomfort for a few days, with complete
recovery occurring about a week after the procedure.

Although a modern urologist is competent at performing a wide
variety of procedures, such as treating benign prostatic
hyperplasia (enlarged prostates) or performing

surgeries,
more often than not, the majority of his dealings will be with
vasectomy-related matters; each year, between 175,000 to 354,000
vasectomies are performed. The vasectomy procedure itself
involves making a small incision in the scrotum after the
application of local anesthetic and cauterizing each end of a cut
vas deferens. After getting stitched up, antibiotic ointment and
a gauze pad are applied to the area with the
incision.

You may have heard some horror stories about the pain that
comes with vasectomies; these horror stories have been greatly
exaggerated. Yes, there will be some swelling and discomfort
after the procedure, but the discomfort and swelling will be
relatively mild, and if you are too uncomfortable and in pain,
the doctor may prescribe some pain relievers. For about a week
or so after the surgery, you will need to wear a scrotal
support garment or jockey shorts to encourage a rapid and
successful recovery.

The
most prominent reason men decide to get a

is
its effectiveness as birth control. According to the Royal
College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, however, there is a 1
in 2000 chance that a vasectomy will fail (a failed vasectomy is
one in which a pregnancy occurs despite the vasectomy procedure),
but those are much better statistics than those of tubal
ligations (getting your tubes tied) by females: in every 200 to
300 cases of tubal ligations, there is at least one failure.
Also, vasectomies as a form of birth control, when compared to
tubal ligation, are more advantageous in that they are less
invasive, less risky, and more cost effective. A post-op return
visit to the urologist is necessary in order to ensure that a
successful vasectomy has taken place.
