Let’s address the “V” word that makes most men squirm: vasectomy. What if getting snipped was the best thing you did for your health, relationship, and even sex life? Mentioning “vasectomy” triggers all sorts of different feelings for men. The truth is it’s not as terrifying as one may expect. On this episode of the Balls Deep podcast, Dr. Joe Pazona sits down with Micah Berg, an entrepreneur and former Marine, to discuss his real-life story of getting the procedure and the vasectomy benefits he’s experienced:
Why Micah Chose a Vasectomy
For Micah, with two kids, his plate was already full. He recalled how unappealing starting over with a newborn while one of his kids was in middle school and the other was driving. He had a hard stop and a clear understanding of where the lines were drawn, and that was his tipping point. What really nudged him was when his wife’s IUD was about to expire. He could either suggest a round of hormones or an uncomfortable procedure, which he decided wasn’t fair. So, he said, “it’s my turn.” That’s right fellas, he decided to get a vasectomy as a token of love, and practical partnership.
The Fear Factor (Spoiler: It’s Mostly in Your Head)
Like most guys, Micah had his fair share of worries surrounding the procedure:
- Pain
- Swelling
- Bleeding
- A urologist without a set of balls (yes, he said it)
Fortunately, he came around to trusting Dr. Pazona after reading positive reviews. “If someone botches your balls, they don’t get five-star reviews,” Micah says.
What the Procedure Was Really Like
Micah reported a smooth process, calling it “a non-event.” Thanks to nitrous oxide (laughing gas) and Dr. Pazona’s no-scalpel methods, he enjoyed:
- Minimal discomfort
- Super short procedure (under 10 minutes!)
- No post-op horror stories
“I’ve never gotten that high that fast and then sober that quick,” Micah laughed. “It was amazing.”
Recovery: Ice, Jockstraps, and… Beer?
In true Pazona MD fashion, branded jockstraps and ice packs were included alongside his recovery kit. Jockstraps and icepacks aside, recovery protocols included:
“A six-pack, 2 beers. One for you, one for your balls.”
Micah felt great within 2–3 days, returning to normal within a week. Though the time-frame was clear, there were notable restrictions. Don’t jump, don’t have sex too soon, and wear the jockstrap. Easy enough.
Vasectomy Benefits: Better Sex & a Happier Partner
Details really do matter to some people.
For example, Micah’s wife was thankful that she was not getting on another round of birth control, which was made possible through getting a vasectomy.
- No more hormonal drugs
- No stressing about conceiving
- No more accidental pregnancies
Micah said it best:
“Sex is better when there’s no anxiety. Vasectomy equals freedom.”
The ultimate reward? Improved intimacy in the relationship. Involved in this was the selfless act of simply devoting himself, which is, in simple terms, showing true love and maturity.
Still on the Fence?
Micah has a clear message to any guy still contemplating if the vasectomy benefits are worth it:
“I should’ve done it earlier. Once I knew I was done having kids, there was no reason to wait. It’s not painful, it’s not scary, and it gave me peace of mind, and a lot more sex.”
Final Thoughts
Micah’s story demonstrates that the tales surrounding vasectomy procedures are just that: tales. The truth? They are safe, quick, and empowering. And when performed by skillful urologists like Dr. Pazona, it’s even kind of … enjoyable.
