A member asked:
When evaluating whether to get a vasectomy, what are the possible short/medium/long term side effects or risks?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Minimal: Vasectomy is the most definitive, safest birth control option for couples done having kids. It's a 10-15 min procedure that will leave you sore for a few days. Rarely, men will have chronic pain, worse swelling and evenore rarer, persistent sperm. It is reversible with high success rates if you seek out a well trained micro surgeon.
