Vasectomy is a permanent form of birth control, but it does not provide any protection against sexually transmitted infections (STIs). If you are concerned about STIs, you should use condoms in addition to vasectomy.
Vasectomy is a relatively simple procedure that can be performed in a doctor's office or outpatient clinic. It usually takes about 30 minutes and does not require general anesthesia.
After the procedure, you may experience some pain, swelling, and bruising in the area of the incision. You may also have some blood in your semen for a few days or weeks.
Vasectomy is a safe and effective form of birth control. However, it is important to talk to your doctor about the risks and benefits of vasectomy before deciding if it is right for you.
