What is the leading cause of death in men between the ages of 15 to 44?ĭ) Heart disease.
How common is erectile dysfunction?Ī) It's rare, and pretty much only occurs in men over 70.ī) It occurs often in at least one in five men over 40.Ĭ) It occurs often in at least one in 10 men over 40.ĭ) It occurs often in around one in 50 men over 40. A man has erectile dysfunction when he:Ĭ) has trouble getting or keeping an erection and therefore can't have sex with penetration.ĭ) has a low libido (sex interest).

By the age of 50, what proportion of men have male pattern baldness?ĭ) 65% 2. Vasectomies are considerably more affordable at around $1,000, with Medicare covering some of that expense.1. From one of my earlier articles, we learned how many hundreds of thousands of dollars you need to spend on them until they leave the nest. It costs a helluva lot less than having kids. Promise, they won’t feel a thing.Ī vasectomy won’t decrease desire, cause difficulty maintaining an erection or problems with orgasm. If you want a vasectomy but may still want kids, consider freezing sperm before the surgery. Reversing a vasectomy is costly and may not be successful. Vasectomies should be considered permanent sterilization, not temporary birth control. Close your eyes and try to visualise that phenomenon. The sperm are eventually reabsorbed into the body. Vasectomies don’t halt sperm production, they just stop your swimmers from escaping. “It happened to a good friend of mine!” said the receptionist after I had just paid the bill for my consultation. Even then, there is still a 1 in 10,000 chance where your partner can still fall pregnant. So, you need to use other forms of birth control until your semen analysis proves there are no longer any sperm swimming about. Unfortunately, it can take a few months to clean out your proverbial pipes. You can return to work within a couple days and be back in the saddle within 1 week. A little swelling and bruising at the incision area is to be expected. Most men will experience some minor discomfort and will need to “chill” for a few days, applying ice packs to the scrotum and using ibuprofen every 6 hours. Which means they make about $200 a minute, if my maths is correct. Typically, it takes around 5 minutes to have the procedure done. Remind me to hug him after the swelling goes down. Other surgeons (like mine) prefer to sedate their patients so they don’t move around too much. Some urologists choose to do the procedure with the patient awake using a local anaesthetic injected into the scrotum. I like those odds! That’s more effective than rubbers or birth control pills. Men have a less than 1 percent chance of getting a partner pregnant after they’ve been surgically sterilized. You should be able to score months of sympathy and loving and back rubs out of it. Rather, exaggerate how brutal an ordeal it will be and how brave you are for unselfishly undertaking it. Make sure not to tell your wife how easy this procedure is. The scrotum is opened and the Vas deferens are cut and stitched shut. So, here are some facts that should put your mind, and your balls, at ease. While it’s easy to obsess over the negatives of vasectomy surgery, there are positives too. If my urologist does what I’m paying him to do, it should divide the tubing so that sperm never leaves the testicles.īy now, most of you are probably crossing your legs as your walnut-shaped friends retreat into your gut at the mere thought of sharp, metallic instruments penetrating your protective scrotum flesh to sever your man hoses. Rather, it’s a small tube located in the scrotum which transports sperm away from the testicle. It may sound like a hip Indie band from Germany that played backup for Kraftwerk in Staad, but sadly it’s not that cool. For those who make a habit of covering their ears and singing “Lalalalalalalalala!” every time the word is mentioned, a vasectomy (male sterilization) is a surgical procedure to cut or seal the Vas deferens. Turns out, a vasectomy is the least invasive, permanent and effective form of birth control.
