Preparing for a Vasectomy?

The vasectomy is a surgical procedure that allows men to become sterile, and it is a method of birth control used by many Inland Empire men. During this procedure, the urologist will sever the vas deferens, which by doing so ultimately makes the man infertile.

This is a permanent form of birth control, and while it can be reversed, the results are not guaranteed to be successful.

This procedure prevents sperm from entering the seminal fluid when a man ejaculates. It is a procedure that is well understood by Rancho Mirage men, but there are steps that male patients should take in order to prepare for the operation.

Whom Should I Discuss The Procedure With First?

Most men will decide to discuss this procedure first with their partner, if they have one at the time. If a couple is deciding that they will not have any more children together, they often talk about whether the vasectomy is the right birth control option for them. When a man decides that this is the route he wants to look into, he should first set up an appointment with his general physician.

The general physician has access to all of the patient’s medical records and will tell the patient if he is clear to have the vasectomy or not. Men who are healthy enough and physically able to have the vasectomy are often referred to a specialist, such as a urologist, who will provide the patient with additional information about the procedure.
