Every week, men sit across from me in my office and say some version of the same thing:
"I'm pretty sure I want to do this. I just want to make sure I'm making the right call."
That's not hesitation. That's wisdom.
A vasectomy is the right decision for a lot of men. But "a lot" isn't "all." And the difference between a man who feels great about his vasectomy ten years later and one who has regrets almost always comes down to how clearly he thought it through before the procedure, not after.
So let me walk you through how I actually think about this with my patients.
