Backstory and Purpose of the Thread.
So I'm making this thread because the topic was brought up in this thread Is there a comprehensive list of arguments for not having a child? and @Rev Leon Lonnie Love wanted more details from my experience. Decided to make a thread in case any other brehs were interested or wanted to share their experience with the procedure. Also, thread disclaimer I'm not a Urologist or medical professional just sharing my personal experience.
So, What Exactly is a Vasectomy?
To put things simply, a vasectomy is a form of male birth control. It works by snipping the vas deferens(tubes) that connect to the testicles. The vas deferens carries sperm out of the testes. So by snipping the vas deferens (tubes), sperm can no longer be released in theory. Vasectomies are nearly 100% effective at preventing unwanted pregnancies. Many urologists see vasectomies as "procedures" rather than full-on surgeries. Because the techniques used are often times simple and quick. And the patient doesn't need much recovery time some guys only need 3 days or so to be back to normal.
How is the Vasectomy Procedure Done?
It's a few different vasectomy methods and depending on your clinic you may have the option of using local anesthesia or being put to sleep for the procedure. . The animated video in the spoiler demonstrates the "no scalpel" method. The no-scalpel method is the least invasive method and takes roughly 20 minutes in total. The conventional vasectomy method involves the use of a scalpel to make the incision on each side of the scrotum. The vas deferens is then pulled out and snipped. The end of the tubes will be sealed off by either stitches, clips, or an electrical pulse. The incisions made on the scrotum will be stitched. The stitches used are often times dissolvable.
Why would any man get a Vasectomy?
There are a bunch of reasons men may decide to get a vasectomy. Some which include their family is already at the right size. Men like that tend to already have one or multiple children and are content with the current size of their family. Also, some men may have a family history or hereditary trait(s) that they don't want to pass down to another generation. Moreover, some men just never wanted children or even the desire to be a father but still enjoy having sex. Many of these men get a vasectomy as to not have to worry about the risk of pregnancy. For some men, it's cost-effective. It's cheaper to get a vasectomy than it is for female sterilization. Also, the cost of a vasectomy is a lot cheaper than it is to raise a child. These are a few more reasons why a man would get a vasectomy but these seem to be the biggest of them all.
How long does it take to become sterile?
Up to 3 months. You can get a sperm analysis done and it will confirm or deny your status as being sterile.
