The No Needle No Scalpel Vasectomy Is Changing The Face Of Contraception

By Margaret Fisher


The term vasectomy leaves a bad taste in the mouths of most men. Some simply cringe at the word, especially after the countless stories of a vasectomy gone wrong. It may be a great form of contraception, but the question that remains is does it have to be so evasive. The no needle no scalpel vasectomy are having some men think twice about this method of contraception.

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.

Some general knowledge about the male reproductive system is required in order to understand how a vasectomy works. Testosterone and sperms are produced inside of the testes or testicles. They are located in a sac called the scrotum. Now, each testicle is connected to a small tube known as the epididymis. The sperm are stored here for up to six weeks until it reaches the stage of maturity.

A pair of tubes known as the vas deferens are a connector to the epididymis. It is part of the spermatic cord which is made up of blood vessels, nerves, and larger tissue. Seminal fluid that is produced by the prostate gland forms semen by mixing with sperm during ejaculation.

This is an outpatient procedure that can generally be performed in less than 15 minutes by an urologist. Individuals are asked to bring an athletic supporter as an aid in minimizing swelling and adding support for the scrotum.

Patients are required to remain clothed from the waist up, and an anesthetic is applied to the scrotum. This is performed without a needle by gathering the vas deferens up under the skin and making a small incision. The no-scalpel procedure allows the vas deferens to be pulled through the incision, severed in two places, and a segment measuring about one centimeter is removed. The ends of the vas deferens is tied off and placed back in the scrotom.
