Minor Surgical Procedure for Men Seaking a Permanent Form of Contraception
The procedure works by cutting or sealing the tubes that carry sperm, preventing sperm from entering the semen.
Vasectomy is considered a highly effective form of permanent contraception and does not usually affect testosterone levels, sex drive, erections or ejaculation.
What to expect
The procedure is generally performed under local anaesthetic and patients can usually return home the same day. Some mild discomfort, swelling or bruising may occur afterwards.
It is important to remember that a vasectomy does not work immediately. Another form of contraception must be used until a follow-up semen test confirms that sperm are no longer present.
