What do they do during a vasectomy?

Question

My friend's husband is getting one and shes worried they'll hurt him.

Answer 1

Your testicles and scrotum are cleaned with an antiseptic and possibly shaved.
You are given an oral or intravenous (IV) medication to reduce anxiety and make you sleepy. You may not remember much about the procedure.
Each vas deferens is located by touch.
A local anesthetic is injected into the area.
Your surgeon makes one or two small openings in your scrotum. Through an opening, the two vas deferens tubes are cut. The two ends of the vas deferens are tied, stitched, or sealed. Electrocautery may be used to seal the ends with heat. Scar tissue from the surgery helps block the tubes.
The vas deferens is then replaced inside the scrotum and the skin is closed with stitches that dissolve and do not have to be removed.

Answer 2

They cut the tube that carries sperm from the testicles to the semen, and literally tie a knot in the two ends. That is why a vasectomy can be reversed sometimes. The semen still works and flows normally, however, eventually the testicles stop producing sperm completely. Life after vasectomy is perfectly normal, and won't affect a mans sex life or any other aspect of life.

Answer 3

The doctor gives a local anesthetic.
He cuts through to the vas deferrens, it is the tube that takes the sperm, situated next to the testicles. He ties each end so the sperm cant get through and is reabsorbed in the man's system.
It is a very safe operation and apart from very short discomfort there are no long term effects to your man's health or sexuality.
She is lucky her man is having it done as it saves a lot of hassles on the woman worrying about contraception.

Answer 4

I had this procedure done in my urologist's office a couple of years ago. The procedure itself is not very painful--the doc uses plenty of local aneshetic. There will be soreness for the next few days, which is why most doctors perfom this on Fridays, allowing the weekend as recovery time. The most important thing is to not lift anything during recovery. Tylenol and icepacks help with the pain...stay away from painkillers--you want to feel if there's something wrong. For me, it realy wasn't all that bad.

Answer 5

It IS NOT a major procedure. All they do is shave and numb the scrotum (nut sack) with an injection. The doctors then make a small incision to cut and tie off the tubes leading to the testicles.

Too much information? I'm sorry. Just wanted to be through.

Answer 6

the purpose of vasectomy is to stay away from being pregnant .in this operation sperm duct is reduce off so as that sperms do no longer attain the vagina. this is a person-pleasant operation. yet eliminating testicles would endanger existence itself.
