What are the advantages of a Vasectomy?
- A vasectomy is a minor operation. It is safe, extremely effective, and permanent.
- It is excellent for men who have had all the children they want.
- A vasectomy is less expensive and causes fewer complications than tubal sterilization.
- Any time, even years later, you can have your semen checked to see if your operation is "still working.' If your semen has no sperm, your operation is working! Used in this manner, vasectomy can be close to 100% effective. Semen ayalysis can be done several times in the 1-3 years after a vasectomy just to be sure your Vas deferens has not recanalized.
- A vasectomy gives the man the opportunity to play a responsible role in the contraceptive process.
- It does not affect a man's ability to enjoy sexual intercourse.
