Vasectomy- the ultimate male contraceptive Part 10

Complications

Serious complications after vasectomy are rare. Pain, bleeding and some redness at the incision site may occur in a few individuals. Rarely, sperm remain in the vas may build up and may require removal. However, the majority of these collections disappear with time.

Vasectomy does not cause prostate cancer. Nevertheless, as a precaution, the American Urological Association (AUA) recommends that men over 40 who had a vasectomy for more than 20 years previously should have a yearly test for prostate cancer. Today, vasectomy is a safe procedure. Thousands of men have had this procedure and go on to lead healthy normal lives.

Will vasectomy affect my libido?

Vasectomy has no affect on the male hormones. There is no change in libido, desire or the ability to make love. Both erections and orgasms remain the same. In fact, most couples report more spontaneity in their love making and devoting less time to worrying about pregnancy.
