Vasectomy Reversal

Non Scalpel Vasectomy: A Better Alternative To The Traditional Vasectomy

When a man has a non scalpel vasectomy done, it means he has had a vasectomy where the surgeon did not need to surgically make large incisions to cut the tubes. This type of vasectomy was invented in china in 1988 so it is a fairly new procedure.  But what makes the non scalpel vasectomy different from traditional vasectomies?

The Procedure
The non scalpel vasectomy is much easier to do and is less invasive than traditional incision based vasectomies. Incision based vasectomies usually result in more bleeding, scarring and the need for stitches, whereas the non invasive method has less bleeding, less scarring and no need for stitches. This newer method just leaves a pin sized mark if that. The doctor does not cut in this procedure but opens a minute hole, and then separates the tubes.

The Benefits to the Non Scalpel Vasectomy
This method minimizes the patient’s risks. There is less of a chance of infection, less pain, and less scarring.

Another benefit to this type of procedure is that a vasectomy reversal is much easier to do when this type of procedure has been done, than on the traditional vasectomy. If a vasectomy reversal is ever needed there wont be scar tissue to cut through and less scarring to the tube itself, sot the reversal has a better success rate.

Because this type of procedure takes less time, is less invasive, it is also less expensive, which makes it a perfect option for many men.

The Disadvantages
Not everything is wonderful with the non scalpel vasectomy, and that is probably why it hasn’t replaced in totality the traditional vasectomy. The problem is that the procedure does fail in a small number of men. Some men do experience recanalization, where the tubes reconnect on their own.

Why Would You Want a Vasectomy?

The main reason why you would want a vasectomy is so that you can be sure that no children result from your intimate relationships. Your sexual relationships after having had a vasectomy are just as pleasurable as they were before, if not more so, because you are secure in the knowledge that it will not result in a pregnancy.

When you have a vasectomy especially a non scalpel vasectomy procedure, it does not necessarily mean you will never have children. You can at any point decide to go in and have a vasectomy reversal and be just as fertile as before.

If you want to avoid having a vasectomy failure then its important that you visit your doctor sometime after the procedure just to make sure that everything is as it should be.

In Conclusion
The non scalpel vasectomy is a great birth control method but before doing it, you should analyze every other option to make sure you are making the right choice in your life.
