Health benefits

– No hormones are introduced into your body. If you do not want to use a hormonal contraceptive, this is one option. Plus, a vasectomy does not change your body’s natural hormones.
– No general anaesthesia is required.
– You can have this procedure without first undergoing rigorous medical examinations, such as routine lab, high blood pressure, and hemoglobin level tests, among others.

Lifestyle benefits

– It is a low-effort contraceptive. You have the procedure once, and you are done for life.
– It is cheaper than having a tubal ligation (10).
– Since a man is in charge of this contraceptive, it takes the burden of using a contraceptive off the woman.
– It is convenient. You can have sex without worrying about pregnancy.
– It is permanent.
– It is safe. It has few side effects compared to the various methods used by women.
– It doesn’t affect your sex drive. You will still have erections and ejaculations, but your semen won’t contain sperm.
