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.
Vasectomy is not castration and does not cause impotence. Since your testicles are unaffected by the procedure, they will continue to produce the same amount of the male sex hormone (testosterone). This means that having a vasectomy should have no effect on your sex drive, your ability to get an erection, the volume of ejaculate, your body composition, muscle mass, facial hair, voice, or other male characteristics.
