Vasectomy

Abstract

In this study we try to explore the concept of vasectomy in a holistic context. The main focus of the research is on vasectomy and its relation with clinical practices and its affects. The research also analyzes many aspects of vasectomy and tries to gauge its effect on men's productive capability. Finally the research describes various factors which are the results of vasectomy and tries to describe the overall effect of vasectomy on men's ability to pregnant the women.

Introduction

Vasectomy is a microsurgical procedure to achieve a temporary male sterility. It is one of the most popular forms of contraception in the United States and in many other countries. It is safe, simple, and has a very high efficiency (99.9%) (Christiansen, & Sandlow, 2011). Although, men continue to have sex and have orgasms as before, but their semen does not contain sperm. It is a surgical method of contraception that is suitable for people who do not want more children. The contraceptive action of these methods should be considered permanent, the reversal of the operation may be impossible. It is also important to remember that vasectomy is not effective in protecting against sexually transmitted diseases, such as HIV / AIDS. Men who have undergone this intervention should continue to have safer sex to avoid sexually transmitted diseases (Giovannucci, Ascherio, Rimm, Colditz, Stampfer, & Willett, 1993).

This paper explains the process and clinical aspects of vasectomy along with the after affects. Surgical Procedure, post vasectomy effects, effectiveness of vasectomy, its pros and cons, applications of vasectomy for contraception, and complications of vasectomy are also discussed in this paper.

Surgical Procedure

A vasectomy is surgical procedures particularly complex and its duration is short enough (ranging from 20 minutes to half an hour). Let's look at the most significant phases.

First, it is necessary to proceed with a thorough disinfection of the testicles and scrotum. If the patient has to undergo the vasectomy, it is anxious and the doctor may decide to administer a drug to control anxiousness. It will then put with a local anesthetic to the affected area after surgery (Deneux-Tharaux, Kahn, Nazerali, & Sokal, 2004). After having anesthetized on the part, the surgeon will practice one or more incisions in the scrotum and proceed with the sectioning of the vas deferens then sutured or close their ends. After these steps the vas deferens are repositioned inside the scrotum and at this point you can proceed with the suturing of the skin. This suture is usually carried out with solvents points, then it will not be necessary for removal later.

Vasectomy can be performed either with a scalpel (traditional vasectomy) or without scalpel; the no-scalpel vasectomy is as effective as traditional vasectomy and its main advantages are the less blood loss and a lower risk of postoperative complications (Christiansen, & Sandlow, 2011).

A recently developed technique; no-scalpel vasectomy (NSV) has significantly improved the surgical concept of vasectomy. It is a technique with a much lower percentage of complications compared to conventional vasectomy and currently it is ...
