The Process

The vasectomy is a two-appointment process.

The first appointment is a short consultation. Please note that Medicaid or private insurance may have waiting periods between consultation and procedure appointments.

The vasectomy procedure takes place in an exam room where you can choose between no sedation to minimal sedation, depending on your preference. There is a brief in-clinic recovery time after the vasectomy.

Additional Info

Effectiveness: 99.5-99.9%. Vasectomy is permanent and only a good option for those certain they do not want biological children in the future. Vasectomies do not protect against HIV/STIs. We recommend using condoms to practice safer sex.

Vasectomy Q&A

Will it affect my testosterone?

No. A vasectomy does NOT stop your testicles from making testosterone.

Will my penis still function?

Yes. Your penis will continue to work as it did prior to the vasectomy. Some people actually find that their sex improves after a successful vasectomy once they are no longer worried about pregnancy scares.

Does it cause prostate cancer?

Many inconclusive studies have evaluated the risk for the development of prostate cancer after a vasectomy. Experts believe there is no increased risk of prostate cancer after a vasectomy procedure.

What happens to the sperm?

The body reabsorbs the sperm that is made that cannot be released through ejaculation.

Will I still have orgasms?

Absolutely! And you might find that your orgasms are more enjoyable.

Do vasectomies ever fail?

Yes. The failure rate of the no scalpel vasectomy technique is very low, however.

Is it permanent?

Vasectomy should be considered permanent sterilization. We recognize that people's life situations change, and the need or desire for biological children may arise in the future. Vasectomy reversals can be performed but are not guaranteed and need to be performed with a specialist in these procedures.

Is tubal ligation (tying tubes) easier than a vasectomy?

No. Tubal ligation is a hospital-based procedure and invasive abdominal surgery that carries more risks and often takes longer to perform.
