Vasectomy is a safe and effective surgery for male birth control. While serious complications are rare, some individuals may experience side effects like pain, swelling, or infection in the days or weeks following the procedure. Long-term risks are also relatively low, but can include post-vasectomy pain syndrome or, in rare cases, a sperm granuloma.
