My wife is convinced that my V will spontaneously reverse itself and we're going to have a baby in our 40s. How can I put her mind at ease?

Thank you all for the great questions. I'll return soon for any new questions!

My libido dropped dramatically after mine

I got snipped about five months ago, and I still get reoccurring bruises on my sack from internal bleeding. My doc told me that as long as they're not painful it's fine, but I can't help but feel that internal bleeding- even a little bit- isn't healthy. Thoughts?

Is there rigorous empirical research showing this is effective therapy and/or can help treat mental disorders?

How effective is artificial insemination after a vasectomy (use needle to get sperm from testicles)?

2 kids later, it was a huge success. However, I did have to see a specialist.

Thank you for replying anyway.

There is no direct information on whether pre-existing autoimmune disease increases the chances of having an autoimmune response to sperm after vasectomy.

New findings suggest that there may be a slight increase in the risk of prostate cancer associated with vasectomy, although the absolute risk remains relatively small. It is essential to discuss the potential risks and benefits of vasectomy with a healthcare provider before making a decision.

If someone has a pre-existing autoimmune disease, does that increase their chances of having an autoimmune response to sperm after vasectomy or is the rate of occurrence similar to someone without underlying autoimmune disease?

What new findings have occurred related to vasectomies and prostate cancer risk?

My urologist told me that if I experienced anything like what you just described that I should contact them.

Sexual intercourse with a secondary birth control in 1 week.

it is unclear whether there are any recent legislative efforts in Florida to limit access to contraception. However, it is worth noting that the state's political climate has been largely dominated by conservative lawmakers, and reproductive health has been a contentious issue in the state's legislature.

If there are any efforts to limit access to contraception in Florida, it would be important for the medical community to speak out and advocate for reproductive rights. While it is unclear whether the intent of any such efforts would be to only target women's reproductive access, it is important to ensure that all individuals have access to the health care services they need. The medical community has a responsibility to advocate for their patients and ensure that lawmakers are aware of the potential consequences of their actions on public health.

Had a vasectomy almost a year ago. The volume of ejaculate has gone down significantly and I believe my testicles have decreased in size. Is this all in my head?

Given the legislative direction Florida has taken lately, are you concerned about efforts to limit access to contraception, from funding support through mechanisms like Medicaid to other measures? Or do you think the intent is to only target women reproductive access? Does the medical community have a responsibility to speak about these issues to government leaders?

Its a good idea to check with / call your specific insurance provider and state to see if you are eligible for coverage. If your insurance does not cover the procedure, you may be able to work out a payment plan or sliding cost scale with your doctor. Overall, while the upfront cost of a vasectomy may be more than other forms of birth control, the long-term benefits and cost savings can make it a worthwhile investment.

How do I get insurance to ay for a vasectomy?

Reproductive urology is a sub-specialty of urology that focuses on treating conditions related to the male reproductive system. Patients who suffer from problems like infertility, urinary incontinence, prostate issues, and sexually transmitted infections may benefit from seeing a reproductive urologist. Urologists are also skilled in performing surgical procedures on the male reproductive system, such as vasectomies and vasectomy reversals. Overall, I wanted to help patients who need specialized care in these areas and improve their quality of life

According to a recent study, Vasalgel is a promising new form of male contraceptive [3]. Vasalgel works by blocking the vas deferens, which is the tube that carries sperm from the testicles to the urethra. The procedure is minimally invasive and reversible, and does not affect hormone levels. However, it should be noted that the product is still in clinical trials and not yet available for widespread use [3].
Compared to other contraceptive methods, Vasalgel has some unique advantages. Since it is a non-hormonal method, it does not cause hormonal side effects, such as mood changes, weight gain, or decreased sex drive. Unlike condoms or other barrier methods, it does not interfere with sexual pleasure or require frequent use.
It is important to note that Vasalgel, like all contraceptive methods, is not 100% effective. The gel is designed to be more than 99% effective in preventing pregnancy, but some failures may occur. It is also important to use contraception consistently and correctly in order to maximize its effectiveness.
In conclusion, Vasalgel has the potential to be a promising new contraceptive option for men, but more research is needed to evaluate its safety and efficacy.

No-scalpel or no-clamp vasectomies appear to be a favorable option for individuals considering vasectomy. These procedures offer several benefits over traditional vasectomy, including less bleeding and infections and faster recovery time, and fewer complications such as infections and hematomas.

No-scalpel vasectomies involve a specialized tool that creates a small hole in the scrotum without the need for a scalpel. The vas deferens is then accessed and sealed, blocking the flow of sperm. The no-clamp vasectomy method involves holding the vas deferens in place using a special clamp, rather than a traditional scalpel, while the procedure is performed.
