is this procedure permanent?

For all intents and purposes, once vasectomy is done, this should be considered permanent sterilization.

Is a man sterile immediately after a vasectomy?


js_B3th - February 11th, 2011 12:54 PM

No, about 15 to 20 ejaculations are usually needed after vasectomy before sterility is achieved. Semen analysis follows the procedure, and the man is not considered sterile until he subsequently produces two sperm-free ejaculates.

Does vasectomy make a man impotent or less potent?


kol_meMai - February 11th, 2011 3:34 PM

No, vasectomy does not cause impotence or a decrease in libido or sexual desire. Most medical literature reports the opposite. Following the procedure, men appear to have more sexual drive and potency. Part of this could be due to the sense of security and freedom vasectomy confers on them and their partners.

Does vasectomy protect the man from venereal disease?


starstruck - February 11th, 2011 3:47 PM

no, vasectomy does not protect anyone from catching sexually-transmitted diseases. This is a myth that must be dispelled once and for all. Without prudence and without proper protection, any man, with or without a vasectomy, is equally susceptible to venereal diseases.

yes, a vasectomy is considered a permanent method of birth control. So, must best to think many times to prevent change of heart :)

Sterility resulting from vasectomy is considered to be permanent, and attempts at surgically reversing vasectomy, called vasovasotomy, have had limited success.

princess,

Although it is extremely effective for preventing pregnancy, vasectomy does not offer protection against HIV/AIDS or other sexually transmitted diseases (STDs). Consequently, it is important that vasectomized men continue to use condoms, preferably latex, which offer considerable protection against the spread of disease, in any sexual encounter that carries the risk of contracting or transmitting infection.
