Vasectomy is a birth control method for men. It is an operation performed by tying the tubes that carry sperm.
It is usually performed with spinal or general anesthesia and take 20 to 40 minutes.

The purpose of vasectomy surgery is to provide birth control and contribute to family planning. Individuals should think carefully before this surgery. This method is suitable if they do not plan to have children in the future.

Generally, the tubes can be restored with a second intervention after the operation, but there is no complete improvement in sperm quality.

For this reason, married men are deemed suitable for the operation if they have received their spouse’s consent, are over the age of 18, and are sure that they do not want children in the future.

Patients usually stay in the hospital for 1 night. After the procedure, there may be discomfort or bruising that lasts for a few days. After the surgery, individuals experience bruising and swelling. They go away on their own within 1 week.

After the surgery, it is recommended to support the operated area with a bandage or tight underwear. It may take up to 12 weeks for the sperm to be completely removed from the semen, and additional contraceptive methods are recommended during this period.

Sexual life is not recommended for 1 week and heavy activities are recommended to be avoided.

Surgeons performs a follow-up sperm analysis six to 12 weeks after surgery to make sure no sperm is present.
The recovery period is a few weeks.

This surgery is the most effective birth control method for men who do not want to have children. With vasectomy surgery, the tubes that carry sperm in men are cut and their ends are closed. In this way, sperm is prevented from passing into the semen excreted with ejaculation. Since there is no sperm in the semen fluid, the risk of pregnancy is eliminated. It provides full protection for individuals who do not want to have children at all. One of the important benefits of this surgery is that individuals can return to their social lives in a short time. In some cases, it is a reversible surgery, but its reversibility is not completely successful.

The Vasectomy cost is varying depending on the healthcare provider, surgeon’s experience, disorders and procedure, location where the surgery is performed.
