About Vasectomy

A vasectomy is a safe and effective permanent male sterilization procedure performed by a urologist. It involves cutting or sealing the vas deferens, the tubes that carry sperm from the testicles. This minor outpatient surgery prevents sperm from mixing with semen, making a man sterile while maintaining normal sexual function, hormone levels, and ejaculation. It is considered one of the most reliable forms of birth control and is a popular choice for couples who have completed their family planning. The procedure is typically quick, performed under local anesthesia, and offers a high success rate with minimal recovery time.

Key Highlights

    Highly effective permanent birth control with a success rate over 99%.Minimally invasive outpatient procedure, often completed in under 30 minutes.Does not affect sexual drive, performance, or hormone levels.Significantly more reliable and less invasive than female sterilization (tubal ligation).Low risk of complications and a relatively quick recovery period.Cost-effective long-term solution compared to other contraceptive methods./ul

Who is this surgery for?

  • Elective permanent contraception for men who are certain they do not want future biological children.
  • Completed family planning as a couple's mutual decision.
  • Medical conditions in a female partner where pregnancy poses a significant health risk.
  • Genetic disorders that a man does not wish to pass on to offspring.
  • Personal or financial reasons for seeking a definitive end to fertility.

How to prepare

  • Consultation with a urologist to discuss the procedure, its permanence, and alternative options.
  • Shaving or trimming the scrotal area prior to the appointment may be requested.
  • Avoid taking blood-thinning medications like aspirin or ibuprofen for a week before, as advised by the doctor.
  • Arrange for someone to drive you home after the procedure.
  • Wear comfortable, supportive underwear (like briefs or athletic supporter) on the day of surgery.

  • 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).
  • checked Typical hospital stay: 0 days (Outpatient)
  • checked Expected recovery time: 3-7 days for normal activities, 1 week for strenuous work

PATIENT REVIEW

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.
