Vasectomy side effects are minimal in comparison to other surgical procedures. The most common complaints are swelling, bruising and tenderness of the surgical area. These symptoms typically disappear within a few days to a week.
A vasectomy is a minor surgery for male sterilization, or permanent birth control. In a vasectomy, a urologist cuts and closes off the two vas deferens. The vas deferens are tubes that carry sperm from the testicles to the urethra. The sperm are ejaculated in the semen during intercourse. After a man has a vasectomy, he will still produce sperm, but the sperm do not move out of the testicles. A vasectomy is considered permanent contraception.
