Vasectomy (Family Planning Surgery)

Vasectomy is a permanent male sterilization procedure designed to provide long-term family planning. It involves the cutting or sealing of the vas deferens, the tubes that carry sperm from the testicles to the urethra. As a result, sperm no longer mixes with the semen during ejaculation, preventing pregnancy.

Procedure & Treatment:

The vasectomy is a quick, outpatient surgery usually completed within 20 to 30 minutes under local anesthesia. There are two common types:

  • Conventional Vasectomy: involves a small incision in the scrotum.
  • No-Scalpel Vasectomy: a less invasive method with minimal bleeding and faster healing.

After the procedure:

  • Patients can go home the same day
  • Mild discomfort, swelling, or bruising may occur but subsides in a few days
  • Full recovery typically takes less than a week

Symptoms After Vasectomy (Temporary & Rare):

  • Mild pain or swelling in the scrotum
  • Occasional bruising
  • Rare cases may experience infection or a sperm granuloma (small lump)

Benefits:

  • Permanent & highly effective birth control
  • Doesn’t affect sexual performance, erection, or hormones
  • One-time procedure, no ongoing maintenance
  • Safer and less complicated than female sterilization

Prevention & Alternatives:

Before choosing vasectomy, couples may consider:

  • Condoms
  • Oral contraceptives
  • IUDs
  • Hormonal injections or patches
