During the show, Dr. Taghechian and host Dr. Bruce Feinberg discussed vasectomy and tubal ligation, answered listeners’ questions, and shared expert advice on many urology-related topics.
Dr. Taghechian shared how she began a career in a male-dominated field and how her family influenced her decision to become a urologist. Although urologists see many male patients, Dr. Taghechian explained how she tailors her practice to receive an equal number of male and female patients.
She later explained the process of a vasectomy, the benefits of receiving the procedure, and why it is much simpler compared to tubal ligation, a surgery for female sterilization. Dr. Taghechian also spoke on the recent surge of vasectomy consultations and debunked vasectomy myths. “A vasectomy is a very safe procedure,” explained Dr. Taghechian. “It has minimal risk of complications, and the recovery period itself is about three days. We do recommend a week of rest, no heavy lifting, and not partaking in sexual activity to let the area heal.”
Dr. Shaya Taghechian practices at Georgia Urology’s Marietta and Woodstock offices.
