After a vasectomy and after the healing is complete a man should expect to feel no different, unless surgical complications result. The levels of the hormone testosterone will not change. Ejaculation feels the same. Research also shows that the desire for sex is unaffected after a vasectomy.
After the vasectomy procedure a man needs to follow the doctor's instructions for recovery and to continue to practice birth control until the vasectomy is confirmed successful. Usually three months after the vasectomy, he is sent for a semen analysis. This enables the vasectomy doctor to assess and confirm success.
Success means becoming sterile and that means sperm no longer enter the semen (the ejaculate). During the vasectomy procedure, the vas deferens which carries the sperm is cut, causing the sperm to enter into and be absorbed by the body, instead of mixing with the semen. It is represents such a minute amount that the change isn't noticed.
Complications After Vasectomy
All but a couple of the possible complications, after a vasectomy are temporary. As with any surgical procedure there are risks. These can be minimized in the hands of a qualified doctor and by following the doctor's instructions before and after the vasectomy. Fortunately such complications are usually minor. In rare cases there are man who experience no or lower sexual desire which is considered a psychological complication. The doctor will refer these men to a psychologist. Also, in rare cases an accepted complication can result in pain that shows up after several months. This broadly defined complications has been accepted and named Post Vasectomy Pain Syndrome and can usually be treated.
After Vasectomy It May be Too Late
You can't easily change your mind after a vasectomy so be sure it is right for you.
First off, a vasectomy does not protect against sexually transmitted diseases which means practicing birth control (using a condom) may still be necessary. If these situations do not apply to you, then perhaps the freedom permitted after vasectomy makes it an ideal choice.
Secondly, a vasectomy is considered a permanent form of birth control since reversing it afterward is not always possible, it's a more involved expensive surgery and it's rarely covered by medical insurance. So if a man has any lingering doubts, he should be discouraged.
Life After Vasectomy
After vasectomy a man is free to have sex without concern for conceiving children. When taking into account the pros and cons, most men to decide to get a vasectomy are those in a stable monogamous relationship. In most cases a couple either considers their family to be complete or wishes to be child-free (a small but growing trend). For these men, life after vasectomy is less complicated.
