- Arrange for someone to drive you home after the procedure.
- Wear comfortable, supportive underwear (like briefs or athletic supporter) on the day of surgery.
- Eat a light meal before the procedure unless instructed otherwise.
Risks & possible complications
- Common short-term side effects: mild pain, bruising, swelling, and slight bleeding at the incision site.
- Risk of infection, though uncommon with proper care.
- Small chance of sperm granuloma (a small, tender lump caused by leaking sperm).
- Rare possibility of chronic scrotal pain (post-vasectomy pain syndrome).
- Very rare failure of the procedure, leading to spontaneous reconnection of the vas deferens.
- As with any surgery, rare risks of adverse reaction to anesthesia or hematoma (collection of blood).
Recovery & hospital stay
- Rest for 24-48 hours after the procedure. Avoid strenuous activity and heavy lifting for about a week.
- Apply ice packs to the scrotum intermittently for the first 24-48 hours to reduce swelling.
- Wear supportive underwear or an athletic supporter for several days for comfort and to minimize swelling.
- Keep the incision area clean and dry. Avoid baths, swimming, or hot tubs for a few days.
- Mild pain can be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers like acetaminophen, as recommended by your doctor.
- You must use alternative contraception until a follow-up semen analysis confirms no sperm are present (typically after 15-20 ejaculations or 3 months).

My dad was admitted to MGM...
My dad was admitted to MGM with a bad fever and we were all worried. Dr. Ramya Shri was the one who really talked to us. She didn't just give medical updates; she explained things in a way we could understand, told us what to watch for at home, and actually listened to our concerns. It made a stressful time much easier to handle.
