Vasectomy
A vasectomy is a permanent form of male contraception that involves severing the vas deferens, the tube that carries sperm from the testicles to the penis. This procedure prevents sperm from mixing with semen, effectively preventing pregnancy. Vasectomy is a simple, minimally invasive outpatient procedure that offers a reliable method of birth control for men who no longer wish to father children. At Revere Health, we provide expert vasectomy services with a focus on patient comfort and effective results.
How Vasectomy Works
During the procedure, the vas deferens on each side of the scrotum are cut or sealed, preventing sperm from entering the semen. The body continues to produce sperm, but they are absorbed naturally since they can no longer travel to the semen. The procedure typically takes 15-30 minutes and is performed under local anesthesia.
Benefits of a Vasectomy
Highly Effective: Vasectomy is one of the most reliable forms of birth control, with a success rate of over 99%.
Minimally Invasive: The procedure is quick, with minimal discomfort and a short recovery time.
Permanent Birth Control: Provides a long-term solution for men who are certain they do not want more children.
No Impact on Sexual Function: Vasectomy does not affect hormone levels, sexual performance, or the ability to ejaculate.
What to Expect After the Procedure
Recovery: Most men can return to work and normal activities within a few days, but it’s recommended to avoid strenuous exercise for about a week.
Follow-Up Testing: A semen analysis is usually performed several weeks after the procedure to ensure that no sperm are present in the semen.
Permanent but Reversible: While vasectomy is intended to be permanent, reversal is possible, although success is not guaranteed.
