Vasectomy Q & A

What is a vasectomy?

A vasectomy is a long-term form of male birth control that prevents sperm from entering the semen. Vasectomies are nearly 100% effective, and offer you a reliable alternative to condoms and other forms of birth control.

Are vasectomies safe?

Yes, vasectomies are a completely safe and effective procedure that doctors perform on more than 500,000 men in the United States every year. Although both traditional and no-scalpel vasectomies are low-risk procedures, no-scalpel vasectomies typically cause less pain and bleeding and have a lower risk of infection.

What should I expect during a vasectomy? 

During a no-scalpel vasectomy, your doctor will hold the vas deferens (the tube that carries sperm to your semen) with a clamp from outside the scrotum, and then make a small puncture in the scrotum to access the ducts. No-sclapel vasectomies are a less invasive, less painful option to traditional vasectomies.

When is it safe to have unprotected sex after a vasectomy? 

After your vasectomy, you need to wait a few weeks until the surgical site heals, and ejaculate 15 to 20 times to clear the sperm from your semen before you have unprotected sex again. After about 12 weeks, your urologist will schedule a follow-up semen analysis to ensure there is no more sperm present.
