Hey everyone, I'm in my late 30's right now and I am looking to stitch it up. I've been prescribe Accutane after a hell of a battle with recent cyst acne.. So I was wondering, is it okay for me to get a vasectomy before or after taking accutane? Is there any real risk associated with it? Has anyone does this?
To those looking for an answer I have found one.
Study on isotretinoin use before a surgery.
RESULTS:
The average full-thickness wound size in the control animal was 0.4346 cm(2) at 14 days and 0.0689 cm(2) at 28 days. The average full-thickness wound size in the isotretinoin-treated animal was 0.4685 cm(2) at 14 days and 0.0363 cm(2) at 28 days. The differences were not statistically significant between the 2 animals at either time point. On histological analysis, the healing characteristics of partial- and full-thickness wounds were similar at 7, 14, and 28 days for both animals.
CONCLUSIONS:
Invasive surgery might be safely performed even in the presence of recent isotretinoin therapy. This finding challenges the current practice of waiting longer than 6 months after completion of therapy to perform surgery.
Vasectomy isn't considered invasive, so I'm sure it is safe.
Hope this helps anyone.
I would def. get the big V BEFORE u start tane
Im 8 mnths post tane and my skin is still SOOOO sensitive (and my skin was like steel pre tane..not sensitive at all!) and terrible at healing/recovering from any trauma....
