Easing Anxiety With The No Needle No Scalpel Vasectomy

By Margaret Fisher


The term vasectomy has brought many a chill to men around the country who shivered at the very thought. Hearing about operations gone wrong and changes in sexual performances have deterred many a male from having the procedure done. The no needle no scalpel vasectomy may change the way men feel about contraception and about the procedure itself.

Today, a vasectomy can be deemed to be relatively painless. The whole purpose of the procedure is to severe the tubes known as vas deferens so that they can not deliver sperm any more. This is generally used as a means of contraception. This procedure can usually take about ten minutes. Contrary to belief, the males sexual function 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.

This method has advanced to the point where a needle is not required for administering anesthesia. It is faster and has minimal pain. The healing process is a lot faster as well. The doctors that belong to the Associated Urologists of Orange County are ecstatic about the success on the new technique. Due to the years of experience and dedication, they are astounded at the results.

Learning about the male reproductive system is important when understanding the process of a vasectomy. The testes are where sperm and the hormone testosterone is produced. Its location is in a sac near the bottom of the penis known as the scrotum. The epididymis is a tube in which each testicle is connected. It becomes the storage area of sperm where it is housed until maturity for as long as six weeks.

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.

This operation is usually considered outpatient, and can be generally done at the office. It only takes about ten minutes to perform. Individuals are encouraged to bring a athletic supporter to support the scrotum and help with swelling. One should also make sure that aspirin or ibuprofen is avoided before surgery so that bleeding is not increased.

Patients are not required to remove their clothing except for the waist down. An anesthetic is then applied to the scrotum without the use of a needle. The vas deferens is gathered up under the skin and a small incision is made. Using the no-scalpel procedure allows the tube to be pulled through the opening, cut in two areas, and removing a segment no longer than 1 centimeter in length. The vas deferens is then burned and placed back inside the scrotum.
