Due to certain circumstances, some men resort to a rather radical method of contraception, which is a vasectomy. This is a surgical operation that consists in excising or ligating the vas deferens. This procedure is considered not too difficult, as a rule, it lasts about half an hour under local anesthesia. A small incision is made in the scrotum, through which a vasectomy is performed, also known as a vasectomy.
The consequences of this operation are also quite simple: with full preservation of sexual function - libido, erection and ejaculation - a man becomes sterile, his seminal fluid does not contain spermatozoa, so pregnancy is almost impossible. Of course, this method of contraception does not protect against sexually transmitted diseases.
While a vasectomy is one of the surest ways to prevent an unwanted pregnancy, it is not a 100% guarantee, especially right after surgery. First, in the vas deferens,live spermatozoa may remain. Complete cleansing occurs after 15-20 ejaculations, which can be confirmed using a spermogram. At this time it is necessary to use additional contraceptives. In addition, some men may have developmental anomalies - for example, double vas deferens, and if this is not detected before surgery, then the ability to conceive will remain. Such cases are extremely rare, but sometimes recanalization of the ducts occurs, which also restores fertility.
Because this is a rather serious decision, a man should seriously consider whether he needs a vasectomy several times. Where to do the said operation, if such a need nevertheless arose? It should be a good clinic with experienced surgeons. It is best to meet and consult with your doctor before the intervention, and then make the final decision. By the way, this procedure is minimally invasive and does not require hospitalization, the stitches are removed on the 8th day. According to Russian law, such an operation can be performed either for medical reasons, for example, in the case of serious hereditary diseases, or at the request of a patient over 35 years old with two children.
If a man changes his mind a few years after a vasectomy and wants to become a father, it will be possible. Although without the help of doctors can not do. A vasectomy is not a castration, the function of the testicles is preserved so that spermatozoa can be extracted from them and used for IVF. In addition, it is possible to reconstructvas deferens, but not always this operation is successful. Moreover, said procedure is very complicated and expensive. That is why doctors recommend that you think carefully about everything before resorting to vasorectomy. The decision must be reasonable and balanced.
In some countries, it is believed that a vasectomy is a great way to rejuvenate the body. Say, after the operation, the testicles are activated in the sense of testosterone production. However, is it worth testing such hypotheses on yourself and resorting to such radical methods?
