Let’s talk about vasectomies…

We’re getting real today… let’s talk vasectomies. ✂️

Many people think of them as “less invasive” or an “easy” long-term birth control option, however there are some serious potential side effects that no one ever talks about.

I bet your Dr. won’t tell you that vasectomy disrupts the body’s natural hormone and immune system balance which can cause some side effects like:

  Hormonal Imbalances: The testicles are responsible for producing testosterone, which is the primary male sex hormone. Vasectomy can cause a disruption in the natural hormone balance, leading to a decrease in testosterone levels. This can lead to symptoms such as decreased sex drive, erectile dysfunction, depression, and fatigue.

 Autoimmune reactions: Vasectomy can potentially trigger an autoimmune reaction in the body, where the immune system attacks healthy tissues. As a result of vasectomy, sperm cells are released into the bloodstream where your body’s immune response perceives them as invaders and attacks them. This can result in chronic inflammation, which is linked to a variety of health issues such as autoimmune diseases, chronic pain, and mental health issues.

  Pain: Some men who undergo vasectomy may experience chronic pain in the scrotum or testicles. This can be due to inflammation, nerve damage, or other factors. A few possibilities include:
 Epididymitis which is a backup of sperm in the vas deferens.
Vaso venous fistula which is a rare but serious complication causing pooling of blood which may be seen in urine or ejaculate and requires immediate medical attention.
Sperm granuloma which is a lump of accumulated sperm cells that form a cyst or bump in the surgical area that may cause pain or discomfort. It is estimated that 15-40% of men who undergo vasectomy will experience sperm granuloma, but many may not have symptoms.
Epididymal blowouts. Closed-ended vasectomies using surgical clips, ties, or cautery to close the vas deferens can lead to an immediate increase in pressure often overwhelming the strength of the epididymal or vasal wall leading to a blowout.

There have also been conflicting studies linking vasectomy with other diseases and health concerns including but not limited to: heart disease, circulatory problems, diabetes, lung cancer, lupus, neuropathy, Non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, prostate and testicular cancers

This isn’t meant to scare you, but to aware you.

It’s all about INFORMED CONSENT It’s important to do your research and be aware of potential side effects and complications so you can make an informed decision and be in control of your own health.

Where do I begin????? I’m going to begin by telling you all a little back history about how I found this Diamond. I went through the wringer with my toddler since the day she was born. Doctors under the sun couldn’t give me anything but short answers, I paid so much money for better care and I was tossed around with questions and no answers. My baby was in need of somebody to just examine her properly and no matter how hard I looked it seemed impossible. that was in the past, until Jessica welcomed us with open arms, found the problem and continues to bless us with answers to our concerns by addressing them in a way that nobody ever has. We have seen major improvements in our daughter by following everything Jessica says, if you got to this page, I highly reccomend her. My daughter has seen so many doctors, been poked and pronged so many times that she doesn’t even like to be seen anymore. Trauma. But Jessica is patient, and kind. And she will find a way to get them to like her. My kid smiled for her and that was enough for me. And our kids have the same exact birthday, which felt like another sign to me!
Through our office visit, never once did I feel rushed or nervous. She never judged us for our choices as parents, and she always led us into a better path. Because of Jessica our daughter has a chance at a positive life with a promising future and I could not be more happy to have found her. This woman knows her stuff and she actually cares about people. I’ve never met someone in the medica field that I trust more than I trust her. I don’t know what I would do without her, I feel so grateful and I literally cried after our first visit when she gave us answers… and that’s how much I got out of her visit. Happy tears!!! Please don’t ever leave Jessica!!!Thank you Jessica.

They healed my daughter’s eczema in 2 weeks (by finding the root cause, her leaky gut!) which regular doctors haven’t been able to do for 5 years! We love well-rooted!!

We are new patients here and had a wonderful first experience. Everyone in the office was so kind and friendly. Valerie was amazing with our daughter, very helpful and genuine in fielding all of our questions, and provided us with great resources. I am grateful for their whole child approach. So happy to have found this pediatric team!

Jessica, since we started seeing you I loved how you’ve always fought for our daughter’s. You’ve seen us thru some scary times but ALWAYS place our daughter’s first and that’s why when you moved we decided to follow you. You’re awesome and my daughter’s don’t trust anyone else but you. Continue doing you Jessica, you’re awesome!
