What You Should Know About No Needle No Scalpel Vasectomy

By Steven Stone


As a matter of fact, a woman may conceive when the sperm reaches the ova. The different forms of contraception seek to either prevent the sperm from reaching the ova or to stop production of the ova. However, male sterilization is possible today. It is being used as form of contraceptive to ensure that sperms do not get to the ova. With the use of no needle no scalpel vasectomy, this male sterilization is achieved effectively.

During vasectomy, the tubes which carry sperms to the penis from the testicles are usually cut, blocked and then sealed. When the traditional method is used, the procedure involves the use of a scalpel. After the procedure is done, sperms cannot get to the semen usually ejaculated during sex. As a result, the ova cannot become fertilized and the woman cannot conceive.

With the evolvement of the modern form of vasectomy where no needle or scalpels are used, the procedure has less discomfort and has a host of advantages. The result of this modern technique is the same as in the traditional technique although the approach differs significantly. In the no needle case, the doctor sprays the anesthesia rather than using an injection to numb the area. As a result, the discomfort is very low compared to the traditional case where an injection is given.

In the traditional vasectomy, a scalpel is used to make two incisions on the scrotum. However, this is not the case for the no-scalpel approach. In the modern case, one small punch is done on the skin. Usually, the incisions made in the traditional approach, require more anesthetics while the risk of bleeding and infection can be higher. With the no-scalpel vasectomy, there is little pain if any and mild discomfort.

On the other hand, you may feel a small tugging sensation. The anesthetic applied often lasts several hours thereby allowing the patient to get back home. Some form of swelling or bruising might as well occur and this can last for 7-10 days. Once the procedure is done, you may require to rest from normal work for at least 2 days. You should also keep off from lifting heavy objects and strenuous exercises for about one week.

The procedure has a success rate of above 99% in most cases. In addition, it is perceived to be long lasting even though it can be surgically reversed. Successfully reversing the procedure is dependent on the time one takes after the vasectomy is performed. Nevertheless, such reversal procedures are often costly.

After undergoing this procedure, a person does not become sterile immediately. The reason for this is that sperms will still be in vas deferens for several weeks even after this procedure, and might take several dozens of ejaculation for the vas deferens to be cleared. To avoid pregnancy during this time you may use other forms of birth controls. Still, this procedure has no effect on your hormone level, erection and sex drive.

Similar to other surgical procedures, you might as well encounter some complication with this procedure. Such complications are such as bleeding, pain, and infection. However, with the no-needle no-scalpel technique, such risks are highly minimized.
