 | | A vasectomy leaves the patient unchanged except for the fact that the sperm cord (vas) is blocked. | | | It represents a significant improvement over conventional vasectomy techniques in that it is less traumatic and shortens recovery time. | | | The "No-Scalpel" technique is a technique that was first done in China in 1974. |

| | vasectomy |
| | Researchers have found that men who have had a vasectomy are especially influential;27 in our study, a sizable proportion of men attributed their choice of vasectomy over tubal sterilization to friends who said they had had a problem-free vasectomy. | | | Arevalo and colleagues found that white men were more aware of vasectomy and its positive benefits than were Hispanics.28 Hispanics did not undergo the procedure because they were concerned about surgery on their genitals or they disliked the idea of sterilization—issues that might be addressed with additional information. | | | Because of the homogeneity of vasectomy clients, we could not examine the association between men's characteristics and their reasons for choosing a permanent method of contraception, reasons for choosing vasectomy over tubal sterilization and sources of vasectomy information. |

| | Vasectomy |
| | Vasectomy is a minor operation that is usually done at a doctor's office or at a clinic. | | | This method of vasectomy, which was developed in China, does not use a scalpel. | | | Most cases of post-vasectomy pain can be treated with non-steroid anti-inflammatory drugs such as ibuprofen, sitz baths, antibiotics, or spermatic cord blocks (an injection that helps to deaden the pain). |

| | Vasectomy |
| | Because vasectomy is such a simple and quick procedure, we feel that it is unwise to subject our patients to these unnecessary risks. | | | Vasectomy should always be considered permanent, so do not undergo a vasectomy if you feel there is any chance you will change your mind. | | | If you have been worried about other facets of your sex life before the procedure, chances are that a vasectomy will not improve those other conditions. |

| | Open-ended Vasectomy: Improved Reversibility with Less Chance of Chronic Pain |
| | The idea of the open-ended vasectomy is to reduce pressure, allow a single granuloma to form at the testicular end, and thus prevent pressure induced pain, ruptures and multiple tiny granulomas which block the epididymus. | | | Another study of 100 open-ended vasectomies documented an unacceptable increase in failure rate with this technique(4), but it appears likely that study employed an improper cautery technique (5). | | | Some men have had their vasectomies reversed in hopes to relieve the pain, but reconnection is relatively expensive and offers no added benefit with respect to PVP. |

| | Vasectomy |
| | Vasectomy is a minor operation that takes about 30 minutes and is usually performed in a doctor's office or a family planning clinic. | | | Even though a couple may rationally accept the idea of a vasectomy, it is extremely important for each partner to be as open as possible about any negative feelings they might associate with the procedure. | | | In fact, both studies found that men who had vasectomies actually experienced a slightly lower risk for coronary artery disease, and one study also found lower risks for stroke, high blood pressure, and chest pain. |

| | Since incisions are still made in most vasectomies, a multicenter research group studied 1,429 men to compare the results of surgery to the no-scalpel method. | | | They determined that the results of research on the association between vasectomy and prostate cancer were not consistent. | | | The researchers found both treatments to be safe and effective, but the no-scalpel group had fewer complications, less pain and resumed intercourse sooner after the procedure, according to a report in the Journal of Urology. |
