What Vas Deferens Surgery Involves

By Kenneth Wright


The surgery of the vas deferens is also known as vasectomy. It is a simple surgery that is done at the office of the doctor or from hospital. The vas deferens are cut and blocked off such that sperms are not able to pass. It is a procedure that is quick and one is able to get home on the same day. When it comes to vas deferens surgery it is important to know what the procedure involves.

Sperms are usually made in the testicles. They leave testicles through small tubes that are known as the vas deferens, after which it mixes with other fluids to make semen. Sperms within the semen are able to cause pregnancy when they get into the vagina. With the surgical procedure, there is blocking or cutting of the tubes to keep off sperms. The sperms will then stay within testicles and are absorbed into the body.

This is among the most effective procedures that are used for birth control. It is one that is almost 100 percent effective when it comes to prevention of pregnancies. Nevertheless, it is not effective straight after surgery. It takes about three months for semen to be free of all sperms. Some months after the procedure is done, there will be a test called semen analysis done by the doctor. It is done to check if some sperms are still in semen. For the process, one is expected to ejaculate in a cup to collect the required sample.

The method is effective because it is designed to work permanently. Therefore, people that opt for it need to be certain that they actually want it. There however is the possibility that the ends that are cut are able to grow back together after surgery. This would mean one is able to cause a pregnancy. This is however very rare.

It is a procedure that is safe and the chances of complications are rare. However, there are possible risks as is the case with surgical procedures. Examples of side effects include blood in semen, infections on affected ares and bleeding. There are also people who will experience some build up of fluids in the testicles after a period of time. This leads to a dull ache which worsens during ejaculation.

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.

As regards sex, one is able to start having sex after a few days following the procedure. There are those that wait longer. For those that find it uncomfortable having sex, it would be better to wait until a later date. It should be remembered that the procedure does not prevent pregnancy immediately.

The cost of the surgical procedure is varied. It will depend on where one gets it and whether or not they have insurance. It is considerably cheaper than female sterilization procedures.
