Did you know that 600,000 vasectomy procedures are performed annually to achieve male birth control in Canada and the USA? Perhaps this is because this simple procedure is also the most reliable option for achieving male birth control. But don't be so quick to jump on the band wagon. Another male birth control option may be best for you. Here are important factors to take into consideration.

1. A vasectomy procedure is permanent. Not that reversing a vasectomy can't be done; its just a much more involved procedure, its expensive, the odds of success are not always good and the costs are rarely covered by medical insurance. If you are not ready, you must choose among the other male birth control alternatives.
2. A vasectomy procedure is a surgery and all surgeries carry a risk of complications and side effects. Experienced vasectomy doctors report complication rates of about 5% which include temporary pain and discomfort caused by bruising and hematoma (bleeding). Fortunately these vasectomy complications are not long term, are considered minor and will heal. There is only one accepted long term risk, which is very small, called Post Vasectomy Pain Syndrome. Post Vasectomy Pain Syndrome is defined quite broadly as a chronic aching discomfort in the testicles, made worse by intercourse. There are several Post Vasectomy Pain Syndrome causes and treatments. One of the best ways to lower risk is to choose a vasectomy doctor who performs vasectomies regularly and provides his complication rates.
3. Though vasectomy represents the most reliable and care-free method of male birth control, the closest equivalent female birth control option is tubal ligation. Often permanent birth control is a choice made by a couple who feel their family is complete. No matter the pros for having a vasectomy procedure over a tubal ligation, it often comes down to which partner is mentally and physically better equipped to go through a medical procedure.
4. After choosing to have a vasectomy procedure, your choice of vasectomy doctor is probably the most important factor in your control. Many doctors hype the technique they employ. Some doctors perform a traditional vasectomy procedure. Many today perform a no-scalpel vasectomy procedure. Another modification employs the "no-needle" approach which utilizes a no-needle injection to numb the area during the vasectomy. There are other differences, which are equally as important. However, the most important factor may be that highly experienced doctors obtain far better results with lower complication rates than inexperienced doctors, no matter the technique employed.

Though the vasectomy procedure is the most convenient and dependable method of male birth control, it may not be right for you. If you are not ready for a vasectomy, then other options for birth control have to be utilized. And, if you are ready for permanent male birth control, then we hope that the above factors helped when considering a vasectomy procedure.
