While the idea of having a vasectomy may make many men flinch, the vasectomy procedure is nonetheless an extremely effective method of birth control. The following blog discusses the numerous benefits of vasectomy as a permanent family planning solution. NorCalVas offers no-scalpel vasectomies to the Sacramento and surrounding communities.
If you want a long-term pregnancy prevention strategy, a vasectomy is your best possible solution. The procedure is among the most reliable birth control measures available, with more than 99 percent efficacy in pregnancy prevention. Here are a few of the benefits of vasectomy.
Vasectomies are extremely effective birth control measures.
As previously stated, vasectomies are near the top of the list of effective methods of birth control, and are at the very top for male birth control options. Vasectomies are over 99 percent effective at preventing pregnancies, and once performed, they offer permanent sterilization. There is also no learning curve – no remembering to take medication or apply a prophylactic device. Once you have a vasectomy – after the final screening for the presence of sperm – you don't need to worry about possible pregnancy, ever.
Vasectomies are highly convenient.
Although few would argue that any surgical procedure could be considered exactly convenient, in the long term, having a vasectomy means never having to worry about an unintended pregnancy. The no-scalpel vasectomy procedure itself is also considerably less risky than the traditional method, as it takes under an hour (sometimes only 15 minutes from start to finish) and offers a far lower risk of infection or complications.
Many patients experience improvement in sexual function.
Many men feel an increase in libido after undergoing a vasectomy. Though vasectomies don't cause any hormonal changes, many men report that after the stress of pregnancy risk was removed, they feel more inclined to arousal and experienced less difficulty in achieving an erection.
Vasectomies give men the opportunity to make their own reproductive planning decisions.
While condoms are effective birth control tools, and essential for STD prevention, vasectomies give men the ability to take control of their own reproductive fate. Instead of relying upon their partner to take a pill, insert a diaphragm, or undergo a procedure – or worrying about a broken condom – men have a simple and permanent alternative.
