Thread Name: BS: Vasectomy or not?
Subject: RE: BS: Vasectomy or not?
Some people seem to be likening the procedure--the severence of the vas deferens--to castration (the removal of the testes). No, no: different thing altogether. (The symptoms describe by Garg above in his 'little type' are those of someone who has had the testicles removed.)

Also, an ovar-hysterectomy is not a simple procedure. It is major surgery and it can be dangerous for the woman. There is risk of excessive bleeding; DVT (deep venous thrombosis--clot that breaks away and get's to the lungs causing a pulmonary embolism) after the operation; infection; accidental cuts that cause cronic discomfort after they heal; hazards associated with any general anesthetic.
