Indications for vasectomy

The decision to undergo male sterilization is usually made after careful consideration and consultation with a urologist. The main cases when the procedure is appropriate:

  1. Family planning is complete. The man has the desired number of children and does not plan to have more.
  2. The partner has medical conditions. If it is undesirable or dangerous for a woman to become pregnant due to health problems.
  3. Intolerance to other contraceptive methods. For example, an allergy to latex or negative reactions to hormones.
  4. Hereditary genetic diseases. To avoid serious illnesses in future children that can be transmitted from both father and mother.

In addition, some men do not want their partners to constantly take hormonal drugs. Therefore, taking the initiative, they decide to have a vasectomy.

Benefits of vasectomy

  • does not require further monitoring or regular use of contraception;
  • does not affect the synthesis of hormones;
  • has no side effects typical of hormonal drugs;
  • does not require lifestyle changes.

However, it is worth remembering that sterilization does not protect against sexually transmitted infections. Therefore, a condom remains relevant in the case of new or unstable partners.

It is important to understand that vasectomy is not castration. After sterilization, the testicles continue to work, produce testosterone and maintain a natural level of libido. There are no external changes either, sex drive, orgasm, erection, and satisfaction remain the same. The only thing is that the ejaculate no longer contains sperm. In the case of castration, this means the removal of the testicles and the cessation of their functions.

Preparation and/or course of the procedure

Are there any contraindications to male sterilization?

Although the procedure is considered simple, there are cases when it is not recommended:

  • Active genital infections or inflammatory processes (orchitis, epididymitis).
  • Psychological uncertainty about the decision. If in doubt, you should take time to think about it.
  • Blood clotting disorders or other serious medical conditions.
  • Congenital anomalies of the external genitalia. In such cases, you need to consult an experienced urologist.
  • Chronic diseases in the acute stage. It is worth waiting for the condition to stabilize.
  • Diseases that do not allow for anesthesia. Prior consultation with an anesthesiologist is required.

Vasectomy is a radical procedure and not always reversible. Therefore, before making a final decision, it is advisable to consult a reproductive specialist to discuss the possibility of preserving fertility, for example, by cryopreservation of sperm. In any case, the feasibility and safety of vasectomy should be discussed with your doctor.

The process of vasectomy in the IVMED clinic

A vasectomy in Kyiv at the IVMED Center for Reproductive Medicine takes place in several stages:

  1. Preliminary consultation. The doctor collects anamnesis, assesses the patient's condition, explains the procedure and answers all questions.
  2. Preparing for the operation. For a few days, you should give up alcohol, hot baths, and heavy physical activity.
  3. Carrying out the procedure. During medication sleep, a small tissue incision is made - the doctor cuts or ties the ejaculatory ducts.
  4. Postoperative observation. The patient rests for several hours and then can return home.
  5. Control of the result. In 2 months, a spermogram is performed to confirm the absence of sperm in the family.

Hospitalization is usually not required, and you can return to work the next day.

Recommendations for men after vasectomy

To speed up recovery and prevent complications, doctors advise following certain recommendations:

  • avoid physical activity for a week after the procedure;
  • refuse to use saunas, swimming pools and baths for seven days after the intervention;
  • use additional methods of contraception before the control spermogram;
  • wear tight underwear made of natural fabrics that supports the scrotum;
  • abstain from sexual intercourse for about a week;
  • avoid water procedures during the day after surgery.

After sterilization, it is necessary to monitor the wound condition: if you feel any discomfort, redness or swelling, you should consult a doctor. However, minor discomfort and slight swelling of the scrotum within four days after surgery is a normal reaction of the body and will resolve on its own if you follow the postoperative recommendations.
