VASECTOMY 2
Once all these sperms have been ejaculated, the man is sterile, although he continues to ejaculate fluid which is made in the prostate gland so that neither he nor his partner notices any difference in their sexual pleasure.
What happens to the spermatozoa which are produced in the testicles but cannot escape because of the cut vas?
Although they continue to be produced at the rate of 50,000 every minute, an increase in the blood supply to the testes helps to dispose of them quickly and efficiently, and there is no need to be anxious that the testicles will become swollen, bloated with sperms!
Some men who are thinking of having a vasectomy worry that the sperms, being prevented from escaping, may be absorbed into the body and will produce a group of diseases called auto-immune diseases. Investigations have shown that, although some men form antibodies in their blood to sperm, none of the other indicators of auto-immune disease is produced, and vasectomy does not lead to this type of disease.
What are the advantages of the man having a vasectomy rather than his wife having a tubal ligation, when their family is complete?
The main advantage is that a vasectomy is an easier operation, which is nearly painless and which can be done without admission to hospital. Tubal ligation, whether this is done by a small incision in the abdomen, or by pushing an instrument like a narrow telescope into the abdomen, is a much more complicated procedure.
Neither operation should be contemplated unless the couple are certain in their minds that they will never want any more children because operations to restore fertility are complicated and not always successful. Recent experience in Australia and Britain has shown that if a microsurgical technique is used, no more than half the men treated are able to impregnate their partner within two years of the operation.
