Vasectomy

A safe, permanent birth control option for confident, informed family planning decisions.

Vasectomy is one of the most effective permanent birth control methods for men who have decided not to have more children. This outpatient procedure is performed by a urologist and helps prevent pregnancy without affecting testosterone production, sexual desire, or the ability to achieve erections.

What is Vasectomy?

A vasectomy is a surgical procedure that blocks or seals the vas deferens, the small tubes that carry sperm from the testicles to the semen. After the procedure, the testicles continue producing sperm, but the sperm are naturally absorbed by the body instead of becoming part of the ejaculate. Semen production continues normally; however, it no longer contains sperm capable of causing pregnancy. A vasectomy is intended to be a permanent method of contraception and is considered one of the most effective forms of male family planning.

Frequently asked questions

Get your questions answered before scheduling

We want you to make your decision with clarity and confidence. Below are some of the most common questions about this procedure.

No. Sperm may remain in the reproductive tract for several weeks or even months after surgery. Patients must continue using another form of contraception until a follow-up semen analysis confirms that it is safe to discontinue alternative contraception, as directed by their urologist.
No. A vasectomy does not lower testosterone production, reduce sexual desire, or affect the ability to achieve erections or ejaculate. The procedure simply prevents sperm from becoming part of the semen.
Recovery is generally quick, and many patients return to their normal activities within a few days. Your physician may recommend resting for the first 24 to 48 hours, wearing supportive underwear, applying ice packs, and avoiding strenuous activity for several days. Individual recovery times may vary.
Although vasectomy reversal procedures are available, they are not always successful. Results depend on factors such as the time since surgery, the technique used, scar tissue formation, and fertility factors. For this reason, vasectomy should always be considered a permanent birth control method.
