Open Ended Vasectomy
Any man considering having a vasectomy needs to do the proper research to ensure that having this procedure is the right decision. This is a serious operation that can have long lasting effects and should be thought about more than just a little before deciding to have the procedure.
There are a few options for vasectomies that were not available in the past. To find out what procedure will be the best for you it will be necessary to research the subject thoroughly.
An open ended vasectomy is an option many men take. This is a procedure that leaves room for the procedure to be reversed easily and can leave the testicles relatively unscathed with the lesser chance of having chronic long term pain.
When you have an open ended vasectomy as opposed to a traditional vasectomy the testicular end stays open of the vas instead of closing both of the openings. Many doctors don’t discuss this option with their patients even though there is growing evidence that having an open ended vasectomy is far superior than conventional methods used in the past.
Problems With A Traditional Method Of Vasectomy
When you block the exit for sperm with a vasectomy, you can leave yourself open to a wide variety of complications including pain. The reason you may experience pain is because of elevated pressure in the testes. There can also be swelling or a thickening of the debris from sperm. You may also develop the condition of interstitial fibrosis.
It is difficult to reverse the process of a conventional vasectomy. The reason being, that the rise in pressure of the testes creates sperm leaks and causes formations of granulomas that will obstruct the path of the sperm to the vas.
What Are The Benefits Of Having An Open Ended Vasectomy?
One of the biggest benefits of having an open ended vasectomy is lesser risk is involved to develop testicular pain that is chronic from such conditions as spermatic granulomas or nodules and congestive epididymitis.
Another benefit is that your vasectomy doesn’t have to be permanent. If you have an open ended vasectomy, chances of reversal are much better than a traditional vasectomy even after many years since the operation. This can be good news for those men who have since changed their mind about becoming fathers.
Let’s have a short video on how an open ended vasectomy is done by Dr. Neil Pollock. You can visit his website at http://www.pollockclinics.com for more information about the procedure.
Concerns You Should be Aware Of With An Open Ended Vasectomy
The cut made to your vas can create a “Medusa head” of ducts that are searching to restore the continuity it had before. Finding a surgeon or a urologist who is familiar with the techniques of an open ended vasectomy should be your first choice when searching for a physician to perform your vasectomy.
Another side effect of this procedure is that antibodies to sperm can be created and can interfere with the motility of the sperm after a reversal that was successful. The benefits of an open ended vasectomy far outweigh the negative aspects so look into this procedure before you make any final decisions.
