The No Needle No Scalpel Vasectomy Is Changing The Face Of Contraception

By Margaret Fisher


Usually, whenever men hear the term vasectomy, they usually cringe with a strange look on their face. Many have heard horror stories that have evolved from the operation that they pray they will never be requested to have performed. However, there is a new procedure that takes place that is called a no needle no scalpel vasectomy.

Years ago, the procedure may have given some discomfort for a few days in comparison to today's new methods. Now, it is considered to be virtually painless. The main goal of this method is to cut the vas deferens so that they can no longer deliver sperm. Many look at this as a great form of contraception. It is very quick, and sexual performance is not affected.

This procedure has evolved in such a way that it is not painful and less evasive to when it was first developed. There are over 500,000 vasectomies that are performed in the United States alone. It is a much simpler procedure than tubal ligation. It is similar in which it prevents the eggs of a woman from reaching her uterus. It is easier to reverse. It is chosen by couples for a permanent birth control method.

Due to new advances in this method, which includes anesthesia without using a needle, it becomes a procedure that is practically painless and a lot faster. It usually results in faster healing with less pain. Doctors that are a part of the Associated Urologists of Orange County consider it to be an honor to be one of the first groups located in California using the new technique. Due to years of experience, the results are astounding.

Having some basic knowledge about the male reproductive system will help in understanding the vasectomy procedure. The testicles are where sperm is produced and stored. They are located at the base of the penis in a sac known as the scrotum. The tube that each testicle is connected to is called the epididymis. The sperm can be stored for six weeks until they have reached maturity.

The epididymis is connected by small tubes called the vas deferens. They make up part of the massive tissue called the spermatic cord that houses nerves and blood vessels. The seminal fluid that is produced comes from the prostate glands that forms semen that is ejaculated from the penis.

The procedure can be done on a outpatient basis by a urologist in the office. It can take a minimal of about 10 minutes. Individuals may want to bring an athletic supporter to minimize swelling and add support to the scrotum.

The procedure does not require that the individual fully undress, just from the waste up. The urologist then applies an anesthetic to the scrotum without using a needle. Under the skin, the doctor gathers the vas deferens and makes an incision that is small in nature. Remember, the procedure does not require the use of a scalpel. As a result, the vas deferens is grabbed, and pulled through the incision area. It is burned or tied at the ends. A segment that measures about one centimeter is taken out.
