When a man undergoes a vasectomy, it is commonly assumed that the procedure is foolproof, resulting in no further sperm production and no possibility of conceiving a child. While this method of birth control is highly effective, it’s essential to note that it’s not 100% guaranteed.
Medical professionals who specialize in men’s health in Arizona recognize vasectomy to be approximately 99% effective, with a slight chance of pregnancy still existing. Vasectomy reversal is a costly and complicated procedure, making it necessary to consider this possibility before deciding to undergo a vasectomy.
Despite these potential drawbacks, vasectomy remains one of the most effective methods of birth control available to men. Performed correctly and with proper follow-up care, vasectomy is considered the second most effective form of birth control, after abstinence. Regular post-procedure check-ups are essential to ensuring continued efficacy and preventing potential complications, such as groin pain.
At Choi Urology, Dr. Choi uses the ProNox system (nitrous oxide with oxygen) during the vasectomy procedure to ensure that the patient is relaxed and calm throughout the surgery. This system helps lower pain and anxiety without any residual or hangover effects following the procedure. Dr. Choi uses magnified vision glasses to carefully dissect the vas deferens tube, preventing future chronic scrotal discomfort. He places tiny titanium metal clips above and below the tube and removes a quarter-inch segment of the vas deferens tube before cauterizing the open ends, fusing the tube closed like super glue. This ensures future success without side effects or chronic pain.
After several seminal emissions with birth control, Dr. Choi personally reviews a semen analysis under high-powered microscopy to ensure no visible sperm. Within ten days of a negative analysis, another sample is viewed under microscopy. Unprotected intercourse can be initiated only when no sperm is present.
