Vasectomy is a common and highly effective method of birth control that is chosen by more than half a million men in the US each year.
The procedure is safe, simple, and has no effect on male hormones or sexual function. The procedure is performed in a doctor’s office and typically causes minimal discomfort.
After the procedure, patients should avoid physical activity for 48 hours and use an alternate form of contraception until confirming sterilization through a semen analysis 12 weeks later. While vasectomy reversal is possible, it is important to consider the procedure permanent and irreversible.
Vasectomy is sterilization of those with testes. It is a simple procedure that has no effect on hormones, sex drive or sexual function. Vasectomy is a safe, effective, and permanent from of contraception.
Vasectomy is a permanent method of birth control. It is recommended for those who are sure that they do not want to have children in the future. If you are in a relationship, we suggest discussing family planning with your partner to decide if this may be a good option for you.
Is vasectomy effective immediately?
No. It is necessary to have a sperm count 3 months after the vasectomy to make sure the procedure has been successful. It is important to use another form of contraception until this time.
Does vasectomy affect sexual function?
No. It makes no difference to a man’s sex drive and performance. Some say that their sex life is improved because the worry of contraception is removed.
Is vasectomy reversible?
Vasectomy should always be considered a permanent form of birth control. While vasectomy reversal procedures do exist, the procedure very expensive and by no means 100% effective.
Does vasectomy prevent transmission of sexually transmitted infections (STIs)?
No. Condoms are the only method to prevent transmission of STIs.
The procedure is completed just under the skin of the scrotum without using a needle or a scalpel. The whole procedure lasts about 15 minutes and it’s performed in your doctor’s office. You are awake and comfortable at all times.
Since you will be numbed beforehand, you will only feel pressure or tugging. After the procedure any soreness is easily managed by over the counter pain medication.
Vasectomies are considered the gold standard for sterilization. No more effective method of birth control exists.
