Useful Facts About Vas Deferens Surgery

By Kenneth Wright


Surgery of the vas deferens is commonly referred to as vasectomy. It is a simple surgical procedure which is able to be done at the office of a doctor and in some cases from hospital. It involves cutting and blocking the vas deferens such that passage of sperms is prevented. The procedure is a quick one, making it possible for one to get home on the very same day. When considering vas deferens surgery it is important for one to know what it involves.

Sperms are formed in testicles. They then leave the testicles through small tubes which are called the vas deferens. They will then mix with various other fluids, leading formation of semen. With sperms within semen, it is possible for them to make a woman to get pregnant. With the surgery, the vas deferens are cut and blocked so that sperms cannot pass. The sperms are kept within testicles. They are absorbed into the body over time.

The procedure is one of the most effective when it comes to birth control. When it comes to pregnancy prevention, it is almost 100 percent effective. It will not however be effective immediately after surgery. It takes almost three months for semen to be completely free of any sperms. Months after the procedure, there will be a test conducted by the doctor known as semen analysis. It is done for checking if sperms are in semen. The person ejaculates in a cup so that samples are collected.

It is a very effective method because of the fact that it is designed to work on a permanent basis. As a result, people that decide to go for it will need to make informed decisions. It is however possible that the ends of the tubes that were cut can start to grow again. Effectively, this would mean one is able to make a woman pregnant. The re-growing of the tubes is usually rare.

The procedure is generally safe and few people if any get any complications. Like all other surgeries however, there are possible risks. Some of the possible side effects include bleeding, blood in semen, swelling and infections on the site of surgery. For some people there might be build up of fluid within testicles after some time. This causes a dull ache which gets worse when one ejaculates.

Whereas it could be possible to have the procedure reversed, it will mean there is no guarantee that it will work out. The reversal procedure is very complicated and costly also. In many cases, it will be ineffective. The surgery is not a good option for people that opt for it to solve such temporary problems as sex issues.

When it comes to sex, most people are able to resume after a number of days. Others would have to wait longer. For people who find it very uncomfortable during sex, they may have to wait much longer. When having sex, it would be important to note the procedure does not prevent chances of pregnancy immediately.

The charges for the procedure need to be considered. The cost depends on where the procedure is done and whether it will be covered by insurance. It however is considerably cheaper than female sterilization procedures.
