Vasectomy is rarely spoken about, Most times when we talk about birth control methods we focus on the women, a lot of people do not know that apart from condom there’s another way men can be in charge of preventing pregnancy. I read one of the most knowledgeable and very explanatory thread I’ve read on twitter about Vasectomy by Dr. Olufunmilayo, a Medical doctor on twitter that shares useful information about health on twitter.

Recently about a few days ago, I did a little poll here on my page to try to find out how much men know about Vasectomy and how many more are willing to have one done. And here attached are screenshots of the results.

Please have a look.

What do you think of those results?

For the sake of discussion, I’m going to assume all the voters were men.
Anyway, out of 506 men, 86% have heard of #Vasectomy before while 14% has not.
However out of 329 men, 52% were willing to have a vasectomy done, but up to 48% say they would not.

Wow.
This says a lot.

What is a Vasectomy?

A vasectomy (also called male sterilization or permanent male contraception) is a surgical procedure to cut or seal the tubes that carry a man’s sperm with the aim to permanently prevent pregnancy.

I must quickly add a caveat here tho.
While Vasectomy is regarded as a “permanent” form of male contraception and while some people refer to it as “male sterilization”, it is actually a reversible procedure.
So technically, as long as it is not tampered with, it is permanent.


Do I need to be admitted to a hospital to have a Vasectomy done and is it a major procedure?

No.
A vasectomy is not a major procedure at all.Being admitted to the hospital is not the norm as it is a simple procedure, the incisions are small, and the equipment needed is routine.

Read all the information here. Sure it will answer your questions

it’s defined like that because if it’s not tampered with (not reversed) it’s permanent

No joor, it’s because you didn’t finish reading it on my blog. It’s mostly advised for older men to do it.
