If you feel like children arent for you, or your family is at a happy size, a vasectomy is a great choice to prevent further pregnancies. It is ideal that you take 2 to 3 days off following your procedure in order to heal up properly. Vasectomy is not immediately effective, despite its overall efficiency. Although vasectomies can be reversed with 60% to 80% pregnancy rate afterwards, you should consider vasectomy as a permanent form of birth control. Standing up for long periods of time can hinder the healing process as there will be more swelling and discomfort. Do not do any heavy lifting 7 to 10 days afterwards. Use protection at least 8 weeks after your procedure. You will need to bring in a semen sample 8 weeks following your procedure to make sure there are no sperm present.
