Vasectomy (Permanent Male Contraception)
Safe, Effective, Permanent Birth Control. Quick Procedure, Lifelong Peace of Mind.
What is a Vasectomy?
A vasectomy is a simple, safe, and permanent method of male contraception. It involves cutting or sealing the tubes (vas deferens) that carry sperm from the testicles to the semen. After a vasectomy, the semen no longer contains sperm, making it impossible to cause a pregnancy while preserving sexual sensation and performance.
Clinical Mechanism
Treatment Procedure
Anesthesia
Local anesthesia to scrotal area. Patient awake throughout.
Vas Access
Small incision or no-scalpel technique to access vas deferens tubes.
Sealing
Vas deferens cut, tied, or cauterized to block sperm passage.
Closure
Incision closed (if made). Dressing applied. Discharge same day.
Safety & Reversibility
Vasectomy is very safe with low complication rates. Risks include minor bleeding, infection (<1%), or chronic pain (rare, <1%). Reversal is possible but not guaranteed and is expensive. Vasectomy should be considered permanent.
Suitable Candidates
- Men who have completed their families and seek permanent contraception.
- Those who do not want to rely on partner contraception.
- Couples seeking the most effective birth control method.
- Men who understand the procedure is intended to be permanent.

Frequently Asked Questions
QWill it affect my sex drive or performance?
No. Vasectomy has no impact on testosterone, libido, erections, orgasm, or ejaculation.
QWhen can I have unprotected sex?
Not until a semen analysis (done ~3 months post-op) confirms zero sperm. Use backup until then.
QCan it be reversed?
Reversal is possible but success is not guaranteed (50-90% depending on time elapsed). It is expensive and not covered by insurance. Consider vasectomy permanent.
