For this weeks discussion to talk about the subject vasectomy versus tubal ligation and the breakdown of the anatomical changes and risks when these procedures are done. According to Saladin a vasectomy and tubal ligation procedures can be done for people who are absolutely sure that they no longer want to have children. This is especially true because trying to reverse these procedures can be very expensive and the reversal of the procedures aren’t usually very successful (Saladin, 2015).
A vasectomy is a very interesting procedure in which the tube that carries sperm from the testicles to the penis gets cut, clamped or in some way blocked. This tube is called the vas deferens and once it is cut or clamped the sperm can no longer mix with the semen which causes a pretty effective birth control. According to WebMD “Because the tubes are blocked before the seminal vesicles and prostate a person will still ejaculate the same amount of fluid” (WebMD, n.d.). WebMD also states that sperm is still being produced by the testicles after the vasectomy has been

This procedure is done to “prevent the eggs from traveling to the ovaries and into the fallopian tube where the egg would be fertilized by the sperm” (WebMD, n.d.). There are different methods to perform this procedure and the method to be performed depends on the patient’s individual situation. A person can even choose to have this procedure performed a day or two after giving birth. According to WebMD this procedure can be performed under general anesthesia or can be done by regional anesthetic and usually the patient can go home the very same day. As with any form of birth control a vasectomy and tubal legation are not 100% effective. Although its rare there is a very slight chance that the vas deferens and the uterine tubes can grow back together (WebMD,
After a failed vasectomy reversal, this couple discovered the key to growing their family: IVF at our Las Vegas fertility center.
First, Vinny Ohh doesn’t realize that this type of procedure would cause him major complications. The human body might not be able to function well without its external reproductive organs. Even though Vinny Ohh was born male, there’s still an example of females being negatively affected due to direct altering. For females, the any of those operations were found out to cause “chronic pain, infections, cheloids formation, primary infertility, birth complications, danger to the newborn and psychological consequences” (NCBI, 2011). It’s very important to consider the possibilities of your entire physiological makeup being permanently damaged when thinking
However, in some cases, the sperm must be surgically removed from a man’s testicle. This becomes necessary when a man has a problem with sperm development or when he has a blockage that prevent sperm ejaculation.
It is easy to see that the medical abilities and tools we had 50 years ago are nothing in comparison to what we have today. Among these advances has been the extent to which we can prevent illness and disability. Fetal surgery first emerged in the 1980’s by Dr Michael Harrison aka “the father of fetal surgery,” when he decided to look into ways doctors could fix certain defects before birth to avoid their inevitable, devastating consequences. It has since expanded its practice to a number of hospitals across the country, although it is still an uncommon procedure. It involves opening up the mother 's uterus (just as a doctor would during a caesarean section) so that the fetus is exposed as much as needed to be operated on. The fetus is then put back and the uterus is closed until it is time for the mother to go into labor. The fetus is never detached from the mother and is essentially being operated on while inside the womb (Smajdor). While it may seem like a positive life changing procedure, there are many perspectives out there that support
For men who are looking for a permanent birth control option, a vasectomy is often the right answer. This is a procedure that completely prevents the sperm from being released when the man ejaculates. The best thing about a vasectomy is that it is a simple process, when compared to other treatment options for women, and is highly effective.
In the past, if a woman was unable to get pregnant, she had no choice but to concede to the fact. As technology has advanced women can now employ techniques such as in-vitro fertilization to achieve pregnancy. These procedures, while promising, do not come without their consequences. It is common practice for numerous embryos to be implanted into the woman’s uterus in the hopes that at least one will survive. However, it is not uncommon for multiple embryos to become viable, leading to a multifetal pregnancy. The instance of multifetal pregnancy can increase the risk for adverse fetal outcomes. To circumvent these risks, selective reduction has become accepted practice in managing
In the beginning of the chapter aptly titled, “Sweeter than Honey” Lewis briefly discusses the great French dramatist, Jean Racine. What is clear here is that Lewis believes that there is not an accurate English word to correctly identify how the Psalmists felt when writing about the Law. Within this is the assertion subtly made that by not knowing a language you miss out on clearly knowing the way the people think, although it may be a leap of logic on my part to assume such an assertion was made in the first place. Moving along, Lewis praises Racine for being closer to the feeling of the ancient psalmists than others, more specifically modern writers, have been able to arrive at. Lewis is, however, fixated on how it can be that the Law is
Since 1899, the array of male birth control options had been limited to Vasectomies, abstinence, withdrawal, or condoms. The method of withdrawal has a low success rate, condoms are seen as uncomfortable during sex, and vasectomies are too permanent. Withdrawal and abstinence are the oldest forms of male contraceptives and before female birth control and condoms, the only form of contraceptive. Vasectimes are effective at stoping sperm form leaving the testical, but the procedure is done by surgery and is permanent. In contrast to the hundreds of flexible and effective birth control for women, males options are meager at at best. The ideal birth control for both genders involves a long lasting contraceptive, minimal to no side effects, and
The extracted eggs will later be combined with sperm to attempt to get a successfully fertilised embryo to implant back into the woman’s uterus.
What’s true and what’s not there is so much to say about tubal reversal surgery. But first we have to understand about tubal reversal surgery. After when the fallopian tubes have been blocked, tubal reversal surgery works as a repair for it. Many women have blocked tubes either done by doctors or by any other procedure. In such cases the women go for repairing the blockage. When the blockage is done by the doctors for birth control, then it can be repaired with the reversal surgery. When a woman has blocked fallopian tube she will have trouble in conceiving.
Almost all men can become infertile because the tube that connects the testes and prostate gland (vas deferens) is either blocked with mucus or missing entirely. Some treatments might be useful for the possibility of them to become
Second trimester procedure: is known as dilation and evacuation in which doctors dilates the cervix and remove the fetus.
A tubal ligation is a permeant birth control procedure which closes the fallopian tubes; a laparoscopy or laparotomy can be performed, or a tubal implantation can be used. It blocks sperm from traveling up the fallopian tubes and interferes with the movement of the egg to the uterus. Because the procedure doesn’t effect her ability to ovulate, the procedure doesn’t cause menopause; she will continue having periods. Menopause is a decline in reproductive hormones, estrogen and progesterone, which eventually leads to an end in fertility. Although menopause is a natural process women can become menopausal after a hysterectomy or chemotherapy. If I were her doctor, I would speak to the patient and her spouse about another form of permeant birth
Since I have three children and prefer not to have another child, I am encouraging my husband to have vasectomy. The doctor explained that vasectomy is the safest and easiest form of surgical sterilization. While reversible in many cases, vasectomy should be considered a permanent form of birth
