Responses to questionnaire interviews of 73 men who had undergone vasectomies are discussed, and summary tables presented. The questions cover personal characteristics, the operation itself, motivational factors, and outcome of the operation. Analysis of the outcome includes pre-and postoperative physical health; sexual behavior; psychosocial adjustment factors-including marital, job, and community relationships and concern over children; satisfaction with the operation; and social behavior with regard to the operation. On most of these questions the respondent was also asked to evaluate his wife's condition, behavior, or attitude. Medical aspects of the vasectomy and postoperative sperm tests are also discussed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
