A Family-Planning Decision
Many families choose vasectomy as a safe, sure option for birth control. It is a common operation, performed about 500,000 times annually in the U.S. It's a brief, 12-minute procedure that is performed in our office. Afterward, you may return to light work the next day, but you will need to avoid strenuous work and sports for one week. TDC Urology provides multiple options for vasectomy, including oral sedation and general anesthesia. We utilize the latest no-needle, no-scalpel, no-stitch vasectomy to minimize any discomforts associated with the procedure.
It's important to know that you still could be fertile for several weeks after the vasectomy. For this reason, you must use temporary birth control until your semen is tested and shows no more sperm.
Vasectomy: Dispelling the Myths
There are many misconceptions concerning vasectomy. The fact is, the procedure does not affect sex drive or semen. It does not affect sexual pleasure, does not involve nerves or circulation, does not cause impotence and does not affect testosterone levels or masculinity. Most important, vasectomy does not increase the risk of developing prostate cancer.
Vasectomy is a non-invasive and low-impact procedure. To find out more or to make an appointment, contact us at 360-782-3222.
