Vasectomy

Vasectomy Sydney | Vasectomy Surgery | Dr Haddad

Vasectomy Sydney | Male sterilisation, often known as a vasectomy, is a frequent surgical surgery chosen by men in their middle and advanced years. It entails closing the tubes (called the vas deferens) that deliver your sperm and is a reliable method of avoiding conception. The sperm can no longer reach the semen that is thrown out during sexual activity when the tubes are cut off or closed, therefore it never comes in contact with the female egg for fertilisation.

Vasectomy is a rapid means of achieving permanent contraception. It is expertly performed by Urologists, as an exercise in careful surgical dissection. It is a day procedure under an anaesthetic.

Often once the family is completed, it is preferable for the man to have this procedure, since the woman has given birth several times, and no longer wishes to use female contraceptive pills, nor the intra-uterine devices. The woman also does not tend to wish for laparoscopic tubal ligation.

How effective is a vasectomy?

After abstinence, vasectomies are considered the most effective method of birth control due to their long-term success rate. It is more than 99.85% effective making it one of the most effective forms of contraception. A vasectomy is a permanent way to prevent pregnancy. It is very uncommon for a vasectomy to stop working.

How does a vasectomy work?

A vasectomy works by obstructing the tubes that carry sperm from the testicles, where they are produced, to the penis. You shouldn’t notice a change in the volume of semen you ejaculate because semen is primarily composed of fluid that is created outside of the testicles. However, there won’t be any sperm left in the semen.

Is Vasectomy painful?

No, simple panadol and or anti-inflammatories are used, along with supportive tight underpants for a few days.

What is Post Vasectomy SFA, Seminal Fluid Analysis

Surgical guidelines stipulate mandatory testing of the seminal ejaculate. Post Vasectomy, we advise men to ejaculate 25 times, then give a sample to the Lab.

Once this shows ZERO sperm, then Vasectomy can be relied upon as permanent contraception.

Do I need time off work ?

Yes the day of the procedure, and the day after.

Is vasectomy reversible?

A vasectomy can be reversed, but the treatment is not always successful, and you might not be able to conceive again. Despite the sperm’s inability to reach the penis after a vasectomy, the testicles still produce sperm. Occasionally, it is possible to extract sperm from the testicles using a needle and then carry out IVF if you did not save any sperm prior to the vasectomy.

Is it okay to take medicine before a vasectomy?

Prior to a vasectomy, it is best to avoid medications such as aspirin, ibuprofen, ketoprofen, or naproxen for one week before the procedure. The reason being that these can all thin your blood and increase bleeding.

Ibuprofen and naproxen can be taken once you’ve had the procedure, but you shouldn’t take aspirin for another week. You can also try paracetamol to relieve pain.

Does vasectomy affect sex enjoyment or a man’s ability to reach a climax?

There is no change. A man enjoys sex as much as before and continues to have erections, orgasm and ejaculations of semen but the discharge is sperm-free. Removal of fear of accidental pregnancy may add a greater sense of pleasure.
