Accepted Answer

Ok.: Urologists perform that procedure.  Just make sure your baby-making days are really over, as it's not predictably reversible.

Question 4

should i get a vasectomy at 21?

Accepted Answer

No: Most people, myself included, would strongly advise against you having a vasectomy at age 21.  This says nothing about requiring you to have children in the future.  This simply allows you to keep your options open because you will learn as time goes on that life changes and your desires and impressions will change.  Keep your options open. Vasreversal requests are much more common in men who had vas done at young age. Avoid the heart ache.

Accepted Answer

Local Problem: That will vary from clinic to clinic and city to city. It is not in any way something we can comment on accurately on this international website.

Question 8

how effective are vasectomy reversals?

Accepted Answer

It's a time issue: The most critical factors in vasectomy  reversal success include length  of time since the vasectomy as well as the specific location along the vas where the procedure was performed.  This latter item may not be determined until the surgeon is doing the reversal. Success rates tend to decline after 9 to 10 years, however successful reversals have certainly occurred beyond that time as well.

Question 9

could it be okay to get a vasectomy at 21?

Accepted Answer

Okay..., but...: Vasectomy can be done on any man after proper counseling for its indication, procedure detail, possible complications and realistic expectation as a permanent procedure although it is potentially reversible. After thinking those over for 1-2 months with no change in personal decision, proceed with vasectomy under informed consent. That is nothing unusual in practice. 

Best wish ... Always.

Question 10

are there any alternatives for a vasectomy?

Accepted Answer

Alternatives.... but: Permanent alternatives to vasectomy include female sterilization by tubal ligation or essure.  Other non-permanent means of contraception are also alternatives.  But for permanent sterilization, no-scalpel vasectomy is quick, extremely safe (in experienced hands), and usually not painful.  Read the frequently asked questions section here for more info:
