At what age can a man get a vasectomy?

Question

If a man had vasectomy, is it possible to undo it and get his partner pregnant? Is it really safe having unprotective sex to a vasectomized man?

Answer 1

There are: No specific age requirements; it's more the medical or social indications -- but generally not recommended in young males who may later want to father children.

Answer 2

No legal age limit.: There has been no legal age limitation although traditional thought to have children before vasectomy continues exerting its influence to many people's mind. That is understandable, but carries no legal weight to preclude vasectomy. So, it can be done for teens if ... Or for the elderly to prevent epididymitis...

Answer 3

Arousal problems: No. If you are having a problem with arousal, you should see your doctor. Many conditions and medication side effects can cause problems with arousal.

Answer 4

Can enhance pleasure: If you have chosen to get a vasectomy, then you and your partner will not have to worry about the possibility of an unwanted pregnancy, which could well mean that you and your partner will both find yourselves deriving greater pleasure from sexual intimacy... It is a very benign procedure, and one that will have no unwanted side effects.

Answer 5

Vasectomy: No...This procedure has no impact on sexual function.

Answer 6

No,...: Vasectomy only blocks sperm transportation and will not affect testosterone production and distribution so your ability for sexual arousal, erection, and coitus will not be changed. So, it is important to have proper pre-vasectomy counseling for realistic expectation and acceptance.

Answer 7

Birth control: Am i missing something here? Vasectomy is a surgical form of male birth control - it renders a man sterile. Sterile men can no longer father children, but they can be sexually active, have erections, etc.

Answer 8

Done w/ having kids: Vasectomy is safer, cheaper, and more effective than a woman getting her tubes blocked/tied. It will not affect a man's sex drive or ability to ejaculate b/c that's dependent on the prostate/seminal vesicles that aren't affected. It's irreversible; ppl who try have limited success. It takes 3 months to make sure the vasectomy worked and is not 100%, but very very close. No needles/scalpels needed!
