The Surprising Truth About Vasectomies: What No One Tells You Before Making the Decision
When it comes to permanent, complete birth control, the vasectomy is the reigning all-time champ. It’s a simple outpatient procedure that involves very little pain during surgery and only some slight discomfort afterwards. Fortunately, with a few days of doctor-mandated couch time, you’ll be back to full strength in about a week. Frankly, you’ll probably spend more time deciding whether or not to get a vasectomy than for the actual surgery and recovery.
As a urologist, I’ve performed thousands of vasectomies and helped even more patients understand whether a vasectomy was right for them. In this post, I’ll give you a quick rundown of what a vasectomy is, what it involves, and the advantages and risks of getting one. I’ll also give you some questions to ask yourself about whether or not it’s right for you. Finally, I’ll share what to expect during a vasectomy, how to prepare, how to recover and what steps to take if you decide to get one.
