A vasectomy is a procedure for a man to enable birth control. The procedure involves cutting the connection between the vas deferens in the testicles and the body to prevent sperm from being ejaculated.

Preparation for a Vasectomy:
“Don’t wear boxers after the procedure; instead, get some pairs of “tighty-whities” for the support and wear them for several days afterwards.”
“For icing, use bags of frozen peas or corn.”
“Get a bunch of DVDs to watch, because for 24 hours you may be sore in the groin region, making walking a bit uncomfortable.”
After a Vasectomy:
“Report any pain or discomfort to the doctor or nurses. Do not hesitate to communicate.”
“Carefully follow post-procedure care instructions.”
