How Does Vasectomy Work?

Vasectomy prevents you from having an unplanned pregnancy. Many of us have a poor understanding of our reproductive anatomy and an even worse understanding of human reproductive biology. It is amazing how many myths exist about vasectomy and the experience of having a vasectomy procedure. For a more extensive understanding visit: Vasectomy myths: know your facts! Vasectomy does not decrease testosterone levels or make you less of a man. Vasectomy will not make you an opera singer and vasectomy will not cause your testicles or scrotum to drop to your knees! Vasectomy does not cause cancer of the prostate. These are myths that have been widely circulated and scientifically disproven. Vasectomy is safe, easy, and effective.

Vasectomy is a safe procedure with a very low risk of serious complications and a very low risk of causing long term problems or side-effects. For more detailed information: Risks of vasectomy Although vasectomy is incredibly safe, no procedure is without risk. It is important you educate yourself about the risks involved with vasectomy. Our website and video series should provide a comprehensive education about vasectomy and the risks of vasectomy. With a little self study, you can be provided far more education than a 15 minute traditional consultation appointment.

His Choice Vasectomy is one of the most minimally invasive forms of vasectomy. When you have a His Choice vasectomy your vasectomy will be performed as outlined below:

• No needle used for anesthesia
• No scalpel used for skin opening
• Single spread skin opening in the middle
• No sutures required
• Open end technique
• Long acting local anesthetic

For more detailed information: His Choice Vasectomy Explained In Detail To fully understand the benefits of having a His Choice Vasectomy then you need to understand alternative vasectomy procedures used by some doctors. Many doctors will offer a more traditional vasectomy procedure. They will use a needle to administer the local anesthesia. They may use a scalpel to make an incision on each side of the scrotum. If a scalpel is used to make a skin opening then the skin opening will need to be closed with sutures. These sutures may hang around for several weeks until they fully dissolve or need to be removed. Many vasectomy providers will remove a section of each tube with ligation (tying) and resection (removing). When these doctors tie off or clip the lower end closed then you may have more pain during your vasectomy recovery. Closing the lower end may result in more discomfort during the recovery period. Not only does removing sections of your vas deferens tubes potentially cause more discomfort, but these techniques may increase the chance of vasectomy failure.
