Common Male Forms Of Birth Control
Woman have many forms of birth control that will help them to wait to have children - but what do men have? One of the only types of birth control for men is the condom and a vasectomy.
There is only three types of birth control for men; condoms,
withdrawal, and a vasectomy. Condoms is the believed to be the most commonly utilised. This is because for men they are more reliable then withdrawal and less dreaded then a vasectomy.
But a vasectomy is not altogether out of the question for many men. More and more older men are pondering this idea. Most have already had a couple babies and they would like to relish their time with their wife and family without anymore more. A vasectomy is a surgical operation that slices away the vasa deferentia. Cutting this forbids the sperm from traveling to the seminal stream.
A vasectomy is an easier and less pricey type of birth control when comparing it to a hysterectomy in a woman. During the more simplest form of this process the operating surgeon will make two small cuts at the scrotum - which will allow them to view the vas deferens. These are cut and covered with stitches.
The recovery time for this procedure is ordinarily two to five days though health experts are trying to find new ways of reducing this time. There is a form of no scalpel vasectomy during which a hemostat is utilised in place of a scalpel.
When the vasectomy has been performed the testes will be left in the scrotum where the Leydig cells will have the power to still produce testosterone and other of the required hormones that a man requires. However, the sperm will no longer be able to exit the bodythrough the penis even though the testicles will continue to make them. Instead the body will break them down and soak up them.
Numerous times this kind of male birth control will only cost close to $500 to $1,000 to complete. It can be complete at the doctor’s office and normally will only take a couple of days to heal. The physician will set up a follow up appointment when they will test to determine if the sperm is being held properly and all of the additional sperm has been taken away from the body.
Before your follow up visit it is recommended that you refrain from intercourse because of the sperm that may still be left through the man’s penis. Otherwise you may find out that you have a baby surprise. This procedure is able to be reversed in certain men.
