Question 24 Steven M. has decided he wants to have a vasectomy. This procedure will prevent him from impregnating a female in the future. The procedure involves isolating the spermatic cord and vas deferens, cutting and ligating the vas deferens and then replacing them in the spermatic cord and scrotal sac. The nurse explains to Steven that after this procedure his risk of prostate cancer will be increased because of irregular testosterone production. he will continue to produce sperm and the procedure is irreversible. his reproductive organs will no longer respond to FSH and sperm production will cease. he will have to take testosterone supplementation for the rest of his life. he will no longer produce sperm and will be considered sterile.

A vasectomy is a surgical procedure in which a physician cuts the vas deferens leading away from each testis. Does a vasectomy stop sperm production entirely, block testosterone production, block sperm delivery to the ejaculate, or prevent ejaculation? Explain your answer
3. ANSWER THE FOLLOWING QUESTIONS 3.1 During vasectomy which structure will be cut or ligated? Why will this prevent pregnancy? During vasectomy, the vas deferens tubes are tied, cut, clipped, or sealed to prevent the release of sperm into the semen. This prevents a woman's egg from being fertilized with the man's sperm during sexual intercourse. 3.2 If, as a result of testicular cancer, both testes are removed, what function of the male reproductive system would be affected? If both your testicles were removed, you may start notice changes in your body the after surgery due to not having male hormones. You may lose your sex drive, not be able to get an erection and lastly not be able to produce sperm because of the removal of the seminiferous tubules sperm producing site which is found in the testicles.
