Question

A vasectomy is a minor surgical procedure to prevent unplanned pregnancies. Even though it is a minor procedure, not many men elect to have it performed. Why is this surgery so little utilized

Answer 1

Given what we know about the social stigma surrounding a vasectomy, we can confirm that this surgery is not commonly utilized due to a lack of information on the procedure and the social factors that influence this.

A vasectomy, as stated in the question, is a minor surgical procedure in which the vasa deferentia of the male genitalia are cut so as to prevent the passage of sperm. The male in question would still be able to ejaculate, although the substance released would be void of sperm cells that can cause fertilization, though this is not always completely effective.

In North American culture, the rate at which males see their doctors and get regular check-ups is very low in comparison to countries elsewhere in the world. This is a possible reason as to the also observed differences in the rate of vasectomies in these regions.

The social stigma that has surrounded the vasectomy is one that leads males to believe this is an emasculating procedure or that it is an irreversible process that will leave them sterile for life. This popular myth is one that greatly influences the low vasectomy rates for North American males, one that has been found to be inaccurate.
