Vasectomies offer consistent, effective, and long-term pregnancy prevention, making it the most fool-proof contraception option for both men and women. Northern California Vasectomy offers safe and quick no-scalpel vasectomy procedures to the Sacramento and surrounding communities.

As a contraceptive solution, vasectomies are becoming increasingly common – the procedure is performed on roughly 500,000 men yearly.

Vasectomies are the most reliable form of male contraception available, being more than 99 percent effective. It is a form of surgical sterility that delivers permanent birth control, so men who've had the procedure performed won't have to worry about additional contraceptive methods or devices for the rest of their lives.

While vasectomies are performed on men, there are many fantastic advantages for women as well. Here are five vasectomy benefits for both men and women.

Vasectomies are highly effective. The risk of pregnancy post-vasectomy (and after sperm in the semen has been found to have been eliminated) is lower than one in 2,000.

No-scalpel vasectomies are simple, outpatient procedures. A no-scalpel vasectomy, also called a keyhole vasectomy, only takes approximately 45 minutes, and can take as little as 15 minutes. Moreover, the recovery time is quick with minimal discomfort, so work and social activities are unlikely to be affected. Best of all, vasectomies are a one-and-done solution.

Men can take their reproductive fate into their own hands. If a man decides that he doesn't want children, he doesn't have to rely upon his partner's contraceptive choices to ensure no pregnancy takes place.

Vasectomies offer the best contraceptive success rate for the lowest cost. Vasectomies cost within the range of $600 and $1,000 depending upon the location in which it is performed. This is considerably less money than long-term contraceptive solutions for women (tubal ligation or even birth control pills). Additionally, many health insurance plans cover the cost of vasectomies, so the cost could be even lower.

Has no effect on sexual function or performance. There is no reduction in libido or sexual gratification post-vasectomy. Some men even find that sexual pleasure increases due to no longer having to worry about possible pregnancy.
