No-scalpel Vasectomy in Lleida

Vasectomy achieves male sterilization. For this reason, it is important that men considering this procedure fully understand its consequences.

The contraceptive effectiveness of the no-scalpel vasectomy is over 99%.

There will be no noticeable change in the amount of semen ejaculated. You will continue to ejaculate as usual, but without sperm, meaning there is no chance of fertilizing an egg.

After the vasectomy, pregnancy will no longer be possible.

In addition to serving as a contraceptive method, the most common reasons for undergoing this procedure include:

• Vasectomy acts as a permanent contraceptive method, allowing for sexual activity without the risk of pregnancy.
  
  
• Your partner may have health issues that prevent her from using contraceptive treatments. In this case, vasectomy is the appropriate surgery to avoid fertilization.
  
  
• Vasectomy is a less invasive and more affordable procedure compared to female sterilization. Therefore, it may be chosen to avoid your partner undergoing abdominal surgery for tubal ligation.

If you are considering the least invasive method to undergo a vasectomy, it is essential to have a consultation with the Equipo de Urología del HLA Perpetuo Socorro at the Clínica HLA Perpetuo Socorro to confirm that you are a suitable candidate for the no-scalpel procedure.

At Operarme, we offer you a free initial surgical consultation with the Clínica HLA Perpetuo Socorro in Lleida. During this consultation, the specialist will be able to answer any questions you may have about the no-scalpel vasectomy.

A vasectomy is the surgical method in which a man is sterilized to eliminate the risk of pregnancy from unprotected sexual intercourse.

Before explaining the details of the procedure, it is important to understand how the male reproductive system works and how fertilization occurs.

Sperm are the male reproductive cells and are developed in the testicles. When a man reaches sexual climax, sperm move from the testicles through the vas deferens. The sperm combines with various fluids to form semen, which is then ejaculated through the urethra.

During a vasectomy, the vas deferens are cut and tied to prevent sperm from reaching the semen, eliminating the risk of pregnancy. The body absorbs the sperm without causing any harm to the organism.

After the vasectomy, you will continue to ejaculate in the same way but will no longer be fertile.

Two methods can be used to perform a vasectomy. The first and most conventional method involves cutting and tying the vas deferens through two incisions in the skin.

In contrast, the no-scalpel vasectomy does not require a large incision in the skin, only a small one a few millimeters wide. Additionally, no sutures are needed, as a small bandage or adhesive is sufficient.

The no-scalpel vasectomy is performed by the Equipo de Urología del HLA Perpetuo Socorro as follows:

1. First, the anesthetist will inject medication into the area to numb it.
2. Then, the surgeon will use forceps to make a small puncture in the scrotum, the sac that holds the testicles.
3. Through the puncture, the vas deferens is located, the tube through which the sperm pass.
4. Part of the vas deferens is extracted through the puncture, and a cut is made in it.
5. Finally, the vas deferens is sealed by cauterizing it or using surgical clips. The doctor will then place the ends of the vas deferens back inside the scrotum.
6. To complete the procedure, the doctor will place a waterproof dressing over the wound.

No-scalpel vasectomy is a minimally invasive technique that offers several advantages. The benefits are determined both by the nature of the procedure itself and by the specific technique used.

Since it does not require a large incision in the skin or stitches, there will be no scarring and hospital admission is not necessary.

No-scalpel vasectomy involves a minimal incision, allowing the patient to recover within 12 hours.

In addition, sexual activity can be resumed quickly, as long as there are no complications or testicular discomfort. After the surgery, the Equipo de Urología del HLA Perpetuo Socorro will explain the post-operative care and let you know when you can resume sexual activity.

You can return to sexual activity 7 days after the no-scalpel vasectomy.

One common concern among men considering a vasectomy is whether it will affect the quality of their erection. Vasectomy has nothing to do with this. Erections depend on the corpora cavernosa of the penis, and these tissues are not involved in a no-scalpel vasectomy.

No-scalpel vasectomy will not affect your erection.

This surgery involves cutting the vas deferens to prevent sperm from being present in the semen ejaculated during climax. Therefore, vasectomy will not affect sexual desire either, as this is a psychological factor unrelated to the surgery.

Even though sperm will no longer mix with the semen, sperm production will remain intact. In this case, the body will naturally absorb the sperm without causing any harm to your health.

No-scalpel vasectomy is a contraceptive method with an effectiveness of nearly 100%.

However, the no-scalpel vasectomy does not have immediate effects. Even though the vas deferens are cut, there will still be sperm present in them. Therefore, it is necessary to ejaculate about 10 to 20 times after the surgery before you can engage in sexual intercourse without the risk of pregnancy.

For this reason, it is important to use other contraceptive methods, such as condoms, until that point to prevent fertilization of the egg.

The specialist will inform you about the follow-up test that verifies the moment when the semen no longer contains sperm. The urologist will provide this information at the end of the surgery or during the first surgical assessment consultation.

Once the tests confirm that there is no sperm in the semen, you and your partner will be able to engage in sexual intercourse without using other contraceptive methods, without the fear of causing a pregnancy.

However, although it may seem obvious, it is important to note that a vasectomy will not protect you from sexually transmitted diseases (STDs).
