Vas Deferens Surgery And What It Involves

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.

Generally, sperms are made within testicles. They leave testicles through the vas deferens which are small tubes before being mixed with other fluids to form semen. When there are sperms in semen, they can lead to pregnancy whenever they get into the vagina. With the surgery, there is cutting or blocking of the tubes so that sperms are kept off. This means the sperms will stay within testicles before later being absorbed by the body.

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 safe and in most cases there are no complications. Like all procedures that involve surgery, there are some possible risks. They include blood within the semen, swelling, bleeding and infections on the affected areas. There are also people that will experience some buildup of fluids in testicles after a while. This eventually causes some dull ache. The ache becomes worse with ejaculation.

While it is possible that the surgical procedure might be reversed, there is never any guarantee that it will work effectively. The procedure involved in the reversal is usually more complex, costly and ineffective in many cases. The surgical procedure of the vas deferens is not the best idea for those that seek it for solving temporary problems like sexual problems.

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 costs incurred will vary. It is dependent on where the procedure is carried out and whether insurance is being used. It is a much cheaper option compared to female sterilization.
