Vasectomy Surgery
The Process Known As Vasectomy
A Vasectomy Surgery is a surgical process by which a man is sterilized. No, it doesn’t
involve making a man sit in a hot boiling pot with water and chemicals around him and boiling him for half an hour,
it means rendering a man unable to have children. This method is a permanent method of contraception and it is one
of the most common surgical procedures carried around all over the world, with over six hundred thousand males
opting for it in United States alone and over thirty million men worldwide. While the popularity to sterilize the
women is still high, the Vasectomy Surgery is a procedure that takes less time as compared to female sterilization,
is comparatively less insidious and its recovery rate is much better than that of female sterility
processes.
A Vasectomy Surgery would cost a man anything from $500 to $1200 or even more. This depends upon the
surgical method chosen by the person, for an open surgery is the least expensive, standing at $500, while the other
forms of surgery, like the clipping vasectomy would start from $700, for the reason that it is reversible. The
laser surgery is the most expensive of all, starting from $900 onwards. Typically, one doesn’t have to worry that
much about the costs of vasectomy, since almost everyone has got an insurance and most insurance policies provide a
cover for vasectomies, so the patient gets to pay a few bucks out of pocket. (Accurate at time of publication, from
2010).
The modus operandi of a Vasectomy Surgery is to cut the sperm supply to the seminal vesicle.
This means that the tubes that carry the sperm to be mixed with semen, the vas deferens are either cut, tied,
clipped or sealed so that the passage of the sperms to the seminal vesicle is stopped. This means that the testes
still produce sperms, but it cannot get out of the body when a man ejaculates.
While the Vasectomy Surgery stops the passage of sperms out of the body, it does nothing to
stop the production of the seminal fluid. There is a misconception that vasectomy also disrupts the ability to have
sex. This is altogether wrong, since a man can have the same amount of erection and produce the same amount of
semen as he used to do before. The only difference is that back then, his semen used to have sperms while now, it
lacks to have them.
It is a point to be noted that the Vasectomy Surgery
only helps in stopping a pregnancy, however, it does not help in any way in the context of sexually transmitted
diseases. This means that some amount of protection has to be still taken in order to prevent disease from being
transferred sexually.
Another thing to take seriously is that a Vasectomy Surgery is a permanent method of
contraception. With the exception of clip vasectomy, no other method is reversible, and reversing clip vasectomy is
also very expensive, since the insurance policies do not cover this eventuality. That is why the whole scenario
should be properly contemplated before any concrete action is taken.
