Having a vasectomy allows you to perform sexual activity without worrying about the problem of planning disruption.
1. What is a vasectomy?
A vasectomy is a procedure used to sterilize a man or prevent pregnancy permanently. During this surgical procedure, the male vas deferens are cut and tied to prevent sperm from entering the urethra, preventing fertilization through sexual intercourse.Vasectomy is a simple, easy and safe procedure. However, very few men choose to perform this method because they are afraid of reducing their sexual ability. Men over the age of 40 are the age group most often performed this procedure.
2. How is a vasectomy performed?
With a diameter of about 2mm, the lumen of about 0.5mm, the vas deferens is very small and hard. You can feel the vas deferens, located at the base of the penis. A vasectomy is a procedure performed directly on the vas deferens, so it does not cause any physiological problems in men.Before performing surgery, the doctor will give local anesthetic to numb and relieve pain in the scrotum. The surgeon will separate the vas deferens from the spermatic cord and use forceps to secure the vas deferens. Then, the doctor will cut off, tie or tie the two ends of the vas deferens by tying a knot or electrocautery, making it impossible for sperm to travel from the testicles to the seminal vesicles. After surgery, the doctor will stitch the cut and wound, and clean the genitals.
Should choose reputable medical facilities with standard equipment to perform a vasectomy to ensure the health and life of the patient. If you have a vasectomy in a poor facility, you run the risk of infection, other complications, or an unexpected contraceptive effect if a vasectomy is performed in a poor facility.

3. Should men choose a vasectomy?
Vasectomy is a sterilization method with an almost absolute and safe birth control success rate. Besides, this method of avoidance has a lower cost than tubal ligation.With this procedure, the sperm is only cut out, not preventing semen from the seminal vesicles and prostate gland. So, after this procedure, your semen volume remains the same, no change at all.
Besides, vasectomy does not change the amount of testosterone hormone, so sexual ability is not affected, does not lose or reduce the amount of hair and beard in men.
The vasectomy procedure is very simple, does not cause discomfort to the patient and the recovery time is quick. It is for these reasons that men should opt for a vasectomy, partly sharing the responsibility of contraception with women if you are certain you do not want to have more children.
4. A vasectomy, where does the sperm go?
The testicles are the site of sperm production, which then travels to the seminiferous tubules, epididymis, vas deferens, and seminal vesicles. Sperm are only able to come out to meet the egg if the seminal vesicles contain sperm.Performing a vasectomy means that the vas deferens is constricted, sperm stops and cannot travel to the seminal vesicles, although the process of sperm movement after being produced still follows the normal route. So, if you have a vasectomy, your sperm won't travel to the seminal vesicles, and when you ejaculate, the sperm won't be in the semen either. After a while, the sperm that is stagnated in the vas deferens will either self-dissolve or reverse to produce new sperm.
