What are the Advantages and Disadvantages?

The most important advantage of vasectomy is that it is a permanent and lifelong method of birth control. Vasectomy is performed by urologists under local anesthesia and in the conditions of the practice. Present in the circumstances, it has become a fairly easy and safe process. Since other methods of birth control have eliminated anxiety or discomfort, it can be said that vasectomy has a positive effect on sex life. Since the transactions will not be connected to semen production; there will be no change in the amount and appearance of semen in the male after the procedure. Likewise, since hormone production continues unchanged, no physical changes in the content of sexual desire and activity are expected to occur.

On the other hand, vasectomy is a permanent method and, in the future, individuals want to have children again; reopening of canals with operation may not always happen successfully. In such cases, surgical sperm search and micro-injection may be applied.

Effectiveness of Vasectomy Operation

Some sperm can survive in tubes for a few weeks after vasectomy. These sperms can go into the semen for the first few weeks after the operation. Therefore, a semen test is performed about 12 weeks after the operation and only the absence of sperm in the semen unprotected sexuality is recommended. If sperm cells are encountered as a result of the test, sperm analysis should be repeated after 1 month. Patients should continue to use an additional method of contraception during these periods.
