Vasectomy Complications

Vasectomy complications are rare but can occur, including infection, bleeding, or swelling at the surgery site. Some men may experience chronic pain known as post-vasectomy pain syndrome. There’s also a slight risk of the vas deferens reconnecting, leading to potential pregnancy. Emotional issues, such as regret, can also arise if a man later desires to have children. Overall, most men tolerate the procedure well and find it a safe and effective method of permanent birth control. It's essential to discuss any concerns with a healthcare provider before proceeding.
