Hi lybrate-user, if you are looking for permanent sterilization then vasectomy if the treatment of choice for you. A vasectomy is a sterilization technique for men. It requires minor surgery to cut the vasa deferentia, the tubes that carry sperm. This operation keeps sperm from mixing into the semen when men ejaculate. Without sperm, fertilization of an egg cannot occur and pregnancy is prevented. Vasectomies are usually done in a clinic or doctor?s office and are much simpler procedures than female sterilization. Vasectomies are 99.9% effective as birth control. They do not protect against sexually transmitted infections, including HIV/AIDS. Vasectomy is a permanent sterilization technique. Reversal surgery is available, but not always effective. This procedure rejoins the cut ends of the vas deferens. In more than 70% of these cases, sperm can again be found in men?s semen. However, pregnancy occurs less frequently. The earlier a reversal is performed, the better the rates are for restored fertility. Men are able to fully enjoy sex after having a vasectomy. Hormonal levels and the feeling of orgasm stay the same. The amount of fluid men ejaculate does not noticeably change. During a vasectomy, local anesthesia is used. The doctor makes a small opening in the skin of the scrotum. This allows the sperm tubes or vasa deferentia to be seen and cut. The procedure itself takes about 15 minutes. Men usually rest at the clinic after the procedure. When they return home, ice packs and painkillers can ease swelling and discomfort. It is recommended that men take 2 days off and perform only light activities for a week. For 2 days, it is helpful to wear scrotal supports and not bathe. It may take a week for men to feel comfortable resuming sexual activity. Vasectomies are not effective right away. The sperm that were already in the tubes before the operation need to be ejaculated. This may take about a month or 10-30 ejaculations. Using other forms of birth control is important until follow-up tests can show two negative sperm counts. Hope this helps. Good Luck.
