I should know. I got mine 20 years ago, next year.

No it does not hurt.

Answer 2

Male controlled contraception. One of the most effective contraception methods used today is vasectomy where the vasa deferentia are severed and sealed. With this semen will be devoid of sperms so that women don't get pregnant on ejaculation. However as vasectomy is an irreversible procedure its pros and cons have to be considered before opting for it. It is usually the man who has been married for a minimum of ten years that opts for vasectomies. It should be opted for if both the man and wife are content with the number of children they have if the partner is unable to or cannot use any other birth control method or if the partner has a health problem where pregnancy is not advised. However it is better to forget about vasectomy if you have an unstable relationship is not certain of having any more children, single, divorced or separated or is doing it just to please the partner. Sometimes men opt for vasectomy due to stress like an illness financial problems or a death. However as this stress is temporary it is better to have some counseling before making the final decision. Always think deeply about the consequences of vasectomy with your partner before deciding on it. Some men worry that vasectomy may make him less of a man this is not so as sterility has no effect on virility. There is no change on male characteristics sex drive the ability of getting an erection or the volume of an ejaculation with a vasectomy. It is not advised to take any aspirin ibuprofen or ketoprofen two weeks after and before the operation as they thin the blood and cause bleeding. Acetaminophen is the preferred choice for pain relief. Vasectomy is basically an out patient procedure where the patient is awake during the surgery. Local anesthetic is injected into the scrotum wherein a slight sting is experienced before the area gets numb. No pain is experienced during the surgery, except for slight tugging and pulling. After the surgery the incisions are bandaged and jock strap used for holding bandages in place and applying of pressure. An ice pack can be placed on the scrotum for relief from swelling. With the wearing off of the anesthetic pain and cramping may be experienced which can be relieved with acetaminophen. The patient is advised rest after the operation. Stitches dissolve in about ten days time. It is not advised to bathe and swim for two days no sports and heavy lifting for a week. However if on a desk job work can be resumed when the patient feels up to it. Remember though it is possible to have sex about three days after vasectomy it is still possible to father a child in this period as there may be sperms in ducts to the penis. It takes about 20 ejaculations to flush this sperms out. There may be some complications with vasectomy like bleeding in the scrotum, infection, scrotal pain or inflammation. The doctor should be approached if any of these symptoms develop. When the vasectomy is complete sperm can no longer exit the body through the penis. They are broken down and absorbed by the body. Fluid content is absorbed by membranes in the epididymis and solid content is broken down by macrophages and reabsorbed via the blood stream. Sperm is matured in the epididymis for about a month once it leaves the testicles and approximately 50% of the sperm produced never make it to ejaculation in a nonvasectomized man. After vasectomy the membranes increase in size to absorb more fluid and more macrophages are recruited to break down and reabsorb the solid content.



UPDATE: Vasectomy is a medical procedure in which the two tubes that carry sperm from your testicles to the urinary tract are surgically altered so sperm cannot pass through and inpregnanate a woman. Assuming you don't want kids.
