I am a fifty year old man I take warfarin as I have a metal heart valve from a six year ago heart operation , my wife is still fertile and been having lots of problems with birth controll , so would it be possible for me to have a versectomy as I have to take warfarin every day we are concerned about not tacking my medication or bleeding after the procedure
HelloThanks for writing to us with your health concern. As long as you're bleeding and clotting profile, basically INR, is within normal range, you can have a vasectomy. You would need to stop warfarin for a few days, and would be managed accordingly. Why can't your wife go for ESsure.it is less invasive compared to a lobectomy and much better. Also, she too would be per menopausal, so you have only a few years left to desire contraceptive action. Take care.
