Vasectomy- the ultimate male contraceptive Part 4

Who is the best candidate for vasectomy?

Whenever elective surgery is involved, spontaneous one sided decisions should never be made without some thought and knowledge. Before undertaking vasectomy, numerous factors have to be taken into account.

As with any method of contraception, it is essential to speak to your spouse/mate/partner. Generally, vasectomy is procedure undertaken by the married men. Single men rarely choose this form of contraception and it is almost incumbent on the surgeon to decline this procedure in this group of men as the procedure is difficult to reverse.

The decision about vasectomy should be made with thought given to the fact the procedure is permanent and that having a family in future is remote or nil. It is important to seek the advice of your physician or health care provider about the advantages and disadvantages about the procedure before making a hasty decision.
