The Surprising Truth About Vasectomies: What No One Tells You Before Making the Decision
What is a vasectomy?
Let’s start with the basics. Sperm serve as one of the two building blocks necessary to create human life. Men produce sperm in their testicles. Then, the sperm travels down small tubes, called vas deferens, to combine with semen – the fluid that provides nutrients for sperm to make and survive their journey to the female egg.
A vasectomy literally takes out a small piece of the vas deferens (the “vas” in vasectomy). By taking out a part of the travel tube and sealing off the ends, the vas deferens is permanently closed, keeping sperm in the testicles. With no sperm, there’s no conception and no pregnancy.
