I Have A Question If Me And My Wife Don’t Want Children Cause Of Genetic Issues
Question: Hi I have a question if me and my wife don’t want children cause of genetic issues and I want to get a vasectomy m. But I’m wondering if being feel free to laugh kind of below average down there cou hamper the procedure. Any advise?
Brief Answer:
Only a small puncture or incision is made to perform a vasectomy
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
I understand that you are considering vasectomy because of genetic issues. Let me shortly explain a vasectomy procedure before coming back to your specific question.
Sperm are made in the testicles and stored in the epididymis, which is a small organ on the top of the testicles. During ejaculation, sperm moves from this organ through tubes out the end of the penis. During a vasectomy the doctor cuts and blocks those tubes that are called ‘vas deferens’. This prevents sperm from leaving the body, however, a man can still ejaculate semen but this semen does not have any sperm in it.
A vasectomy is usually done in a doctor's office and takes about 30 minutes. During the procedure, a doctor numbs the skin on the scrotum. After that, they make a small cut in the skin to reach the vas deferens, cut it, and seal it off. The procedure does not hurt, but some men can feel cramping or pulling.
Coming back to your question, only a small puncture or small incision is made to perform a vasectomy. When done through the method of skin puncture, no sutures are required. If an incision is made, the skin edges are closed with stitches. A vasectomy can be performed on any man and the size of the scrotum does not matter for this procedure, as only a very small puncture or incision is made.
I hope that I could be of help to you today. Please let me know if you need any clarification. If you have any more questions I am available to discuss them with you further. Wishing you good health.
Best regards,
Dr. Heang Raksmey, General and Family Physician
