What Is a Vasectomy?

A vasectomy closes off the tubes (the vas deferens) that carry sperm. You still ejaculate normally. There just isn’t any sperm in it.

It doesn’t change your testosterone, your sex drive, your erections, or how sex feels. Sperm is only a tiny part of what comes out, so most men notice no difference at all.

No Scalpel, No Stitches

With the no-scalpel technique, Dr. Shank makes one tiny opening in the skin instead of an incision. It usually heals on its own without stitches, with less bruising and a faster recovery than the traditional method.

Before Your Vasectomy

We’ll make sure a vasectomy is right for you and answer your questions. Since it should be treated as permanent, we’ll make sure you’re sure.
We’ll give you simple instructions, like trimming the area and arranging a ride if you choose sedation.
The procedure is done under local anesthesia. If you’re nervous, sedation is available for an additional fee.

What the Procedure Is Like

After numbing, the procedure itself usually takes about 20 to 30 minutes. Most men feel pressure and tugging rather than pain. You go home the same day.

Recovery

Plan on taking it easy for two or three days. Ice, snug underwear, and the couch are your friends. This is your official excuse.
Most men return to desk work in a day or two. Avoid heavy lifting and strenuous exercise for about a week.
Sperm can stay in the system for a while, so use other birth control until a semen analysis confirms there’s no sperm, usually around three months later.
Possible side effects include bruising, swelling, infection, and, rarely, longer-lasting pain. Failure is rare, which is why the follow-up semen analysis matters.

The Follow-Up Test

We offer an at-home semen analysis kit. You collect the sample in private and mail it to the lab, so there’s no awkward trip back to the clinic.

Your plan will be based on your own evaluation.

Common Myths

  • “There’s less ejaculate.” Most men notice no difference.
  • “It’s easy to reverse.” Reversal is possible but expensive and not guaranteed, so treat a vasectomy as permanent.

Vasectomy FAQs

Does it hurt?

Numbing makes the procedure itself very tolerable. Expect some soreness for a few days.

Usually after about a week, but use other birth control until your semen analysis confirms no sperm.

No.

Sometimes, but reversal is costly and not guaranteed. Treat it as permanent.

Plan on about an hour at the clinic, with the procedure itself taking 20 to 30 minutes.
