Advantages of Vasectomy
Vasectomy is safe and, because it lasts for life, it is simple and convenient. It allows women and men to enjoy sex without worrying about pregnancy.
Vasectomy does not change your hormones or masculinity. And it will not affect your ability to get and stay erect. It also will not affect your sex organs, sexuality, and sexual pleasure. No glands or organs are removed or altered. Your hormones and sperm continue being produced. Your ejaculate will look just like it always did. And there will be about the same amount as before.
Vasectomy may be right for you if
-
You want to enjoy having sex without causing pregnancy.
-
You don't want to have a child biologically in the future.
-
Other methods are unacceptable.
-
You don't want to pass on a hereditary illness or disability.
-
Your partner's health would be threatened by a future pregnancy.
-
You and your partner have concerns about the side effects of other methods.
-
You and your partner agree that your family is complete, and no more children are wanted.
-
You want to spare your partner the surgery and expense of tubal sterilization — sterilization for women is more complicated and costly.
