Vasectomy

For fifty years birth control has been around for woman to decrease the chances of becoming pregnant, but what about for men? For the last ten years researchers have been trying to come up with new ways of contraception for males other than condoms, abstinence, and a vasectomy. Of those one of them is one hundred percent guaranteed no pregnancy (abstinence). A vasectomy is not always one hundred percent against protecting if something happens to go wrong with the procedure, and lastly condoms. Condoms are made of latex and have to withstand a high amount of friction. With this comes many ways for the condom to break and allow for sperm to break…

If you are looking for the most effective and safest birth control, a vasectomy is your best choice. A vasectomy is a minor surgery for sterilizing a man. It simply involves blocking or cutting the vas deferens (the tubes that transport sperms from the testicles). Before undertaking this procedure, you should be sure that you will not need kids anymore. Its reversal is quite expensive and has no guarantees. How is it done? Usually, it is done in a surgery center. The doctor gives anesthetic to…

In Nicholas Bakalar’s article published this past September, he describes a new study that describes the effects of vasectomies on prostate cancer. This new study produced results that contradicted previous conclusions done on similar studies. In previous studies, there was a proven connection between the two, meaning men who had vasectomies had a higher chance of getting prostate cancer. However, the researchers from this study concluded that there was no correlation between the two variables.…

Dandan Zhang PHI 3633 Case A Response Paper In the case of the 19-year-old patient X seeks to get a vasectomy, strong paternalism is evident in the urologist’s refusal to perform the surgery. Paternalism is defined as overriding someone’s actions and decision-making for his own benefit (71).

The benefits of this paternalistic act,…

Recent advances in the research on male contraceptives has shown a great possibility of a new contraceptive being available within the next five years. As of right now there are only three methods of male birth control. Those three methods are condoms, a vasectomy, and abstinence. As many already know, the vasectomy is an irreversible procedure that is only encouraged if you do not want any kids or if you are done having kids. This means men in their late thirties will be the ones using this…

we do not believe in any of this. We also like to prevent any bad behavior for future generations. If students behave poorly, they would be sterilized instantly to prevent any reproduction. As Christians and Nuns, we would like them to follow our beliefs and our footsteps. We are the students legal guardians and have power over them. These sterilizations are legal and supported by the government. Most of the aboriginals are sterilized prior to entering our residential schools to prevent any…

spotting, not having a period, headaches, and possible facial skin darkening. Birth control pills are the most common temporary method, while sterilization is the most common permanent method used in the United States.
