A vasectomy is a surgical procedure that involves cutting and sealing the tubes that carry the sperm from the testicles to the semen. That means that ejaculations will no longer carry sperm, preventing conception during sexual intercourse. Dr. Frank Zama discusses the vasectomy procedure with patients at his urology practice in Valparaiso and explains why it’s important to protect oneself from STDs as well as unwanted pregnancies.

What Are The Pros Of Having This Procedure Done?
A vasectomy is a safe and effective procedure for male birth control. It entails cutting and sealing the tubes that carry sperm from the testicles to semen, which means that ejaculations will no longer carry sperm, preventing conception during sexual intercourse. Research shows that vasectomies are nearly 100% effective at preventing pregnancy and can be reversed when desired. The procedure is highly recommended for men who have already fathered children or if they're done having kids. Urological Surgeons of Indiana provides vasectomies in Valparaiso with Dr. Steven Carr, a urologist who has extensive experience with this procedure and is certified by the American Board of Urology.
What Are The Cons Of Having This Procedure Done?
There are a few cons to having a vasectomy done. One is that it is not reversible, which means you should be sure before you make this decision. Another con is that there is still a chance of getting someone pregnant if they have sex with someone who has an STD or if they have unprotected sex. It can also take up to 3 months before you start to see sperm again, so don't think that this procedure will prevent pregnancy right away.

A vasectomy is a procedure for male birth control. It entails cutting and sealing the tubes that carry the sperm from the testicles to the semen. That means that ejaculations will no longer carry sperm, preventing conception during sexual intercourse. A vasectomy is a permanent form of contraception and should not be considered as an option for temporary birth control.
The procedure will require some recovery time and can lead to complications such as chronic pain or discomfort in your scrotum, difficulty starting urination, prolonged or painful erections, or fluid buildup around your penis. The risks are minimal but vary from person to person. In addition, there may be emotional consequences if you have regrets about your decision later on down the road.
