Introduction
A vasectomy is tying (with or without cutting) the tube that collects the sperm from the testicle (vas deferens). The vasectomy blocks the sperm from going through the vas deferens and penis so that during sexual intercourse, the sperm does not go into the vagina. Vasectomy is safe, with very rare complications. It does not affect your sexual desire or performance. A vasectomy does not prevent sexually transmitted diseases.
Because vasectomy is considered permanent, you should not have it done until you are sure you do not want any more children. You and your partner should be in full agreement to have the procedure. Your decision to have a vasectomy should not be made during a stressful situation. This includes loss of a pregnancy,

Your scrotum will be washed with soap.
Hair may be removed from the surgical area.
Your health care provider will look for the vas deferens.
Each side of the scrotum will be numbed.
One of two methods will be used: either a very small cut (incision) will be made, or a punctured opening will be made without an incision:
The vas deferens will be pulled out of the scrotum.
The vas deferens will then be tied off, cut, or may be burned (cauterized) at the ends.
The vas deferens will be put back into the scrotum.
The incision or puncture opening will be closed. Absorbable suture material will be used. These materials will dissolve and will not need to be removed after the procedure.
The procedure may vary among health care providers and hospitals.
What happens after the procedure?
After the procedure, you will be taken to the recovery area. Your progress will be watched and checked to make sure that you are okay and that there are no other problems.
After surgery, sperm may still be left in the vas deferens for 1–3 months. Because of this, other means of contraception should be used until your health care provider examines you and finds that there are no sperm in your seminal
Cryptorchidism or undescended testis (UDT) is the most common genital disorder identified at birth. The main reasons for treatment of cryptorchidism include increased risks of impairment of fertility potential, testicular malignancy, torsion and/or associated inguinal hernia [1]. Approximately 1% of males have undescended testes, 80% of them are clinically palpable and 20% are non-palpable. The term ‘nonpalpable testes’ implies that they cannot be detected on physical examination; they are either intra-abdominal, absent, vanishing or atrophic [2]. Preoperative detection and location of testicles can help to determine the optimal type of procedure and allow for appropriate future planning. In the case of vanishing or absent
In my opinion this method is only good for men that do not want to be the biological father of any children in the future. Men who are sensative to surgery should think hard before they proceed with this.
Penile adhesions often result from inadequate lysis of natural adhesions prior to circumcision or from migration of the skin from a prominent suprapubic fat pad. “The majority of these adhesions should lyse spontaneously as the penis grows, suprapubic fat recedes, and erections become more frequent and firmer” (2011). Otherwise, lysis of penile adhesions can be performed in the doctor’s office if they don’t lyse naturally on their own. This is accomplished by gently pushing away the adhesions from the glans after administering a topical anesthetic cream such as EMLA.
Afterwards, the parents sign a surgical consent giving the provider the approval to perform the procedure. The purpose of the circumcision is to remove the foreskin from the head of the penis, and allow the head of the penis to be exposed. The provider will use various supplies during the procedure such as an topical or injection anesthetic, a scapula to cut the foreskin, and one of three different clamps to hold the foreskin. According to Bcheraoui et al. (2014), studies have revealed that male circumcisions have an overall side effects rate of 0.5% if performed during the child’s first year of life, but increase up to 20 times that if performed after
Those suffering from this condition can also practice good hygiene, during urination the head of the penis is rinsed over. Urine is not sterile but it can help these individuals maintain a clean penis. If a sufferer develops complications from this disorder they can seek medical attention which results in part of the foreskin removed so that it becomes retractable. Trying to prevent a problem before it occurs can be helpful in some cases but cases such as this one it is
Since male circumcision is a surgery there are certain risks involved. There is a 2-10% occurrence rate of key complications that involve hemorrhage, sepsis, fistula, meatal stenosis, removal of excessive skin and penile loss (5:2239), of which parents should be made aware.
Female genital mutilation is practiced and done cruelty without mercy. As well as, FGM consists of complete removal of external female genitalia. Stated by www.forwarduk.org , FGM is composed of four types . The first type well - known as Clitoridectomy it requires cutting the skin surrounding the clitoris without cutting the clitoris itself. The second type is cutting the clitoris and the skin near it, also some parts of the labia minora or sometimes the labia completely. The third type, is the most dreadful is removal of the external genitalia and sewing the gap of the vaginal opening. This procedure is well- know as infibulation. The tissue then creates a canal of scar above the vigina leaving a miniature hole for urine and period blood. The victim then has severe complication during sexual activity . The Majority of female genital cutting cases are of this t...
What is female circumcision? The female genital mutilation term covers three main varieties of genital mutilation (2). There is the "sunna circumcision"; this consists of removal of the prepuce and/or the tip of the clitoris. Ironically, sunna in Arabic means "tradition". This is done because it is believed that the clitoris is a very dangerous part of the female anatomy. In our culture, Freud stated in his book, Sexuality and the Psychology of Love, that the "elimination of clitoral sexuality is a necessary precondition for the development of femininity. In 1979, the "Love Surgery" was performed on women in the United Sates. Dr. James Burt, the "Love Surgeon", introduced "clitoral relocation" (sunna circumcision) to the medical field. He believed and acted upon the idea that excision does not prevent sexual pleasure, but enhances it. Dr. Burt practiced in Ohio for almost ten years before he was exposed after which he gave up his license.
How do you end a tradition that a culture has had around for centuries? Every culture has a different and original tradition. What happens though when the tradition is a horrible and painful one? Female Circumcision is a procedure that is a tradition to many cultures. The purpose of this procedure is to make women stay faithful to their husbands and not become promiscuous, as they get older. This procedure is not safe and has many side effects. Female Circumcision is a shocking procedure that cause women pain and suffering for the rest of their lives.
Sterilization is the medical act of making a person unable to reproduce and is meant to be permanent. Both men and women can be sterilized, the process for men is called a vasectomy and a woman’s procedure is called tubal ligation. .
...before a procedure, shaving is avoided and clippers are used to trim the hair. This reduces the risks of breaks in the skin. In addition, one hour before surgery the patient is administered antibiotics before the incision and discontinued within twenty-four hours.
Do you think that a medical treatment is the only option you can pursue to improve your sexual health? Well if yes, then trust me, you are completely wrong here! There is lot more YOU can actually do to make your sex life spicier and appealing! That’s true!
However, vasectomy is not immediately effective. Sperm remains beyond the blocked tubes. You must use other birth control until the sperm are used up. It usually takes about three months. A simple test semen analysis shows when there are no more sperm in your ejaculate. Sexually transmitted infections can be carried in ejaculate, whether or not it contains sperm. Latex or female condoms can reduce your risk of infection. There are different ways for men to be sterilized. One type does not require an incision a cut. The other types of vasectomy require an incision. Incision methods take about 20 minutes. The no-incision method takes less time.
The glamorous side of sex is everywhere; music, tv shows, movies and social media. To a mature adult, it is easy to ignore the sexual messages in those outlets. However, to a teenager, going through mental and physical changes and peer pressure, it is extremely easy to fall for what is shown to “cool.” Everyone has fallen for half truths to be cool in their teenage life. It just so happens that teen pregnancies and STDs are not one of those things that one can simply walk away from. Babies and STDs leave a lasting effect on everyone involved. The National Conference of State Legislatures states:
Sex education has been a taboo subject for a long time, even out of schools. Usually an ignored topic of discussion, when adults would be asked such questions by younger individuals the answers were usually misinformation and complex euphemisms. This strategy, use merely so the adult avoided embarrassing themselves, would only further confuse the person asking and it would not even answer the original question. Such examples include babies being brought to the parents by a stork, the birds and the bees, and naming the sexual organs after objects. Due to culture, such customs have been hard to get rid of and improve upon, especially with many of this shame originating from organized religion. In recent years though, conservatism on this education
