Vasectomy for all Men?

Who should undergo a vasectomy?

Whenever elective surgery of the gonads is concerned, spontaneous one sided decisions should never be made without some thought and knowledge. Before undertaking vasectomy, numerous factors have to be taken into account. As with any method of contraception, it is essential to speak to your spouse/mate/partner. Generally, vasectomy is procedure undertaken by married men. Single men rarely choose this form of contraception and it is almost incumbent on the surgeon to decline this procedure in this group of individuals as the procedure is permanent and impossible to reverse.

The decision about vasectomy should be made with thought given to the fact the procedure is permanent and that having a family in future is remote or nil. It is important to seek the advice of your physician or health care provider about the pros and cons about the procedure before making a hasty decision.
