Vasectomy: The right form of birth control for you?


By Amanda Johnson


Vasectomy is a surgical procedure that provides a permanent form of birth control for men. There are two tubes in the penis, known as vasa deferentia, which carry sperm from testicles to the seminal fluid. Under Vasectomy, these two tubes are severed and sealed. Once the surgical procedure is through, your semen will become sperm-free. It means now when you ejaculate during sexual intercourse with a woman, she will not get pregnant. The biggest problem with this method of birth control is that you cannot get it reversed. Therefore, you must understand it pros and cons before going for the same.

Is this method suitable for you?
In order to determine if this method is suitable for you, it is very important that both you and your partner agree to have a permanent form of birth control. There can be other reasons too, where vasectomy can make a good option. For example, the health condition of your partner has made pregnancy unsafe for her, or you and your partner are not comfortable to use other methods for birth control. On the other hand, there can be many factors that make vasectomy unsuitable for you. For example, if you are unsure about having children in the future, or you are single, divorced or separated. Also, many people think that they will get the vasectomy reversed when they want more children. Well, let me tell you frankly, vasectomy cannot be reversed by any means. Therefore, keeping in view all the things, you have to take your decision very carefully.

Result of Vasectomy
More than 99% cases of vasectomy are normally successful. That is the reason why it is considered as one of the most effective forms of birth control. However, you must keep in mind that after the surgery is done; you can have sex only after three days. Moreover, the sperm still remain in little quantity in the ducts leading to your penis, which flush out completely only after 20-25 ejaculations. Therefore, if you go for unprotected intercourse before that you may make your partner pregnant. The best way to deal with this situation is to use a back up method for birth control until you have a semen analysis. Meanwhile, you need to have two tests. Once the test confirms that there is no sperm in the ejaculation, the vasectomy can be safely relied upon for contraception.

Risks
Although 99% cases of vasectomy are successful but in rare cases it may cause certain complications also, such as infection in the incision site (causing redness and swelling), bleeding within the scrotum that may cause painful swelling, scrotal pain etc. However, all these complications can easily be treated. Just call, your doctor and they will suggest you some precautions and treatments. There are certain other signs and symptoms too, which require you to consult your doctor. Such things may include fever, swelling that worsens or does not go down, difficulty in urination, a marbled sized lump in your scrotum, etc.

Overall, vasectomy is certainly very effective form of birth control, but before you take a final decision, do keep in mind the above things.
