[/INST] Hallow Dear, It is a nice option for a husband to get vasectomized. Throughout the reproduction life of a couple, woman is all the time taking the brunt of bearing a child, bearing pains during delivery, breastfeeding the child, raring a child and so on. What man does is only impregnates her. Now this is only one scope for him where he can cooperate with the wife and get vasectomized. Now coming to your questions:1. Copper T is fitted in the uterine cavity. It has gone no connection whatsoever with digestive system. Hence, there is no possibility for stomach bloating after inserting Copper T.2. In vasectomy, the tubes carrying the sperms from the testis are cut and ligated near the testis. It has got no relation with erection of the penis. Erection of penis is governed by a hormone Testosterone which is produced in the testes and is directly poured in the blood. Since you are type 2 Diabetic, it is likely that your father also is diabetic. Erectile dysfunction is one of the complications of Diabetes.3. So long as your blood sugar is within normal limits, you should not have any problem in undergoing any surgery. However, as I have mentioned in the beginning, vasectomy of man should always be a good option of preference. The sperm carrying tube is cut and ligated near the testes. Hence, the part of the tube distal to the site of surgery do contain sperms which can cause pregnancy. Hence, it is advised that after vasectomy for 3 months of for 15 intercourses, condom should be used to avoid embarrassing situation. I hope this helps you.  </s>
