Does having a vasectomy make you not "well and healthy"?

I'm infertile myself, and have managed a reasonably decent quality of life despite that. Even had kids (via donation).

Many amputees also have long and fulfilling lives, but it would be misleading to describe a patient as "well and healthy" when they required an amputation as a result of the medical condition under discussion.

As it happens the girl needed her arm amputated as well because of a blood clot.
