Every year, more than 500,000 American men opt for a vasectomy for birth control — which prevents conception better than any other method. If you have been looking into this procedure, yet require further information first, allow us at Choi Urology to lend you a hand.
Apart from delivering first-class urology services, we also go to great lengths in our facility to promote men’s health. That said, we have gathered common questions about vasectomy, hoping to increase the public’s awareness of it. These are the following:
- What is a vasectomy, exactly?
It is a surgical procedure performed by experts in the field of urology in Tucson, Arizona, that involves cutting or blocking the small tubes in your scrotum that transport sperm. This is done to keep sperm from leaving your body and resulting in pregnancy. - How does the procedure work?
It prevents sperm from getting into your semen by blocking or cutting each vas deferens tube. Sperm cells remain in the testicles before being absorbed by the body. Your semen won’t contain any sperm starting about three months following surgery. - Is it possible to reverse the procedure?
A vasectomy may be reversible, although it’s a much more complex procedure with no guarantee of success. A successful reversal relies on how recently you had the operation, the type of vasectomy and the reversal method you had, and the doctor’s skill.
You can count on us should you want to access further resources on men’s health in Arizona or urology treatments such as Extracorporeal Shock Wave Lithotripsy (ESWL).
