Thinking About a Vasectomy? Urologists Debunk the Biggest Myths

If you’re considering getting a vasectomy, consider that it’s one of the most effective forms of birth control and it’s a pretty low-risk procedure. Also, after one to two days on the couch, your homework is sex! You need to have three to 20 ejaculations to clear out the remaining sperm. You also need one follow-up appointment with your doctor to make sure the surgery was successful. You’ll be in good company. Approximately half a million men in the U.S. get this procedure each year.
