@instituteofhumananatomy: Here's what actually happens during a vasectomy. 🔬 The vas deferens is accessed through the scrotum, 1-2 centimeters of the tube are removed, the ends are cauterized, and fascial tissue is stitched over for extra reinforcement. 15-30 minutes. Local anesthesia. In and out. But you still need backup contraception for 2-3 months — sperm can stay stored in the vas deferens for up to three months after the procedure. And yes, one study found that more frequent intercourse clears residual sperm significantly faster. Most guys consider that a reasonable recovery plan. Part 3 covers testosterone, reversal odds, and where all those sperm actually go.
