One of the most effective forms of birth control is a vasectomy, but most men have serious questions before they entrust a doctor with their precious testicular anatomy. In this video, Jonathan from the Institute of Human Anatomy uses a cadaver dissection to show you exactly what happens during the procedure, addressing everything from recovery time to the odds of a successful reversal.

We explore the relevant anatomy of the spermatic cord and the "Swim Academy" (the epididymis) where sperm cells mature. You’ll learn the difference between a conventional and no-scalpel vasectomy, how the "reproductive blockade" is fortified using cauterization and fascial interposition, and why your testosterone levels remain completely unaffected. We also debunk the myth of "testicular swelling" by explaining how the body naturally reabsorbs unused sperm cells.

Common Questions
Does a vasectomy affect testosterone or sex drive? No, the Leydig cells that produce testosterone secrete it into the bloodstream, which is unaffected by the procedure.

How long until a vasectomy is effective? It typically takes 8 to 16 weeks (or 20+ ejaculations) to clear residual sperm from the vas deferens.

What happens to the sperm that is still produced? Sperm cells age and are harmlessly reabsorbed by the lining of the epididymis and the immune system.

Is a vasectomy reversal guaranteed? No. Success rates for pregnancy can be up to 75% if reversed within 3 years, but drop significantly after 10–15 years.
