The Pros and Cons of Having a Vasectomy
by John Dugan OwnerWhen guys reach that point in their lives when they know they
don’t want children (or they have plenty of them and don’t want more!), they
often choose to undergo a vasectomy. Most men who undergo the procedure have no
lingering effects and often are happy with the results. But there are some
terrified of undergoing any sort of procedure, worried about a male organ
injury happening when they get a vasectomy. The truth is that there are pros
and cons to the procedure, and every man needs to know what those are in order
to make an informed decision.
The pros of vasectomy
Any man who wants to have a vasectomy must understand what he will
benefit from the procedure.
1) No more kids. The most
obvious “pro” of vasectomy is that it prevents a man from fathering children.
In the world of birth control, this is almost as close as a guy can get to not
having that particular responsibility.
2) The procedure is quick. The
procedure is a “one and done” situation – a guy goes in, gets a snip, and is
out of the doctor’s office within an hour or so. This one simple procedure is
all he needs.
3) Recovery is quick, too. Most
men are told to take it easy on the couch for a few days. He might have some
soreness for a few weeks, as well as bruising, but within a month or so he’s
right as rain.
4) No more barrier protections. It
usually takes about 20 releases for a guy to rid his body of all seed and thus
be fine with not using protections while coupling. As long as he’s in a
monogamous relationship, he can enjoy the freedom of unprotected fun without
worry.
5) No pressure on a partner. Some
men find themselves with a partner who can’t use certain birth control methods.
By getting a vasectomy, he relieves his partner of the responsibility of
figuring out birth control.
The cons of vasectomy
Though there are many pros to the procedure, there are some risks
that men need to carefully consider.
1) It’s a surgical procedure. Even
though the procedure has been used for a long time and has been perfected by
numerous doctors, there is still a risk anytime someone uses a scalpel on a delicate
area. Though rare, some men have reported problems that lingered after the
surgery.
2) No protection from socially shared infections. Many men had the best of both worlds when they used barrier
protection: The protection from pregnancy and from infections. However, a man
who has a vasectomy still has to use a protective device if he doesn’t have a
steady, monogamous partner.
3) Reversal can be tough. Though
the procedure for vasectomy is quick and easy, reversing it is much more
involved. If a man changes his mind and decides he really does want to have
more children, it will be an uphill battle to make it happen.
4) Sometimes it doesn’t work. In
a small percentage of men, the vasectomy doesn’t “take.” This means that a guy
who had a vasectomy could wind up with a surprise baby a few years down the
road.
5) Some men feel regret. Though
most men who undergo the procedure are happy with the outcome, some men are
deeply affected by the fact that they are no longer fertile. This can lead to
depression and related problems, which can affect every part of a man’s life.
The decision to have a vasectomy is a very important one that a
man should never take lightly. Before the procedure and after, he should pay
close attention to his manhood health, including the use of a good member health crème (health
professionals recommend Man 1 Man Oil, which is clinically proven mild and safe
for skin). A crème that contains L-carnitnine can help protect the nerves
of the manhood; L-arginine can help ensure blood flow stays ample. Shea butter
and vitamin E, both known for their healing properties, are also great for a
man recovering from a vasectomy.
