What to Expect During a Vasectomy

The vasectomy procedure is straightforward, quick, and completed in under 30 minutes. Our clinic uses the advanced no-scalpel technique, which requires no incisions and results in less discomfort and faster healing compared to traditional methods.

Here’s what you can expect:

  • Initial Consultation: Review of medical history, explanation of the procedure, and consent
  • Local Anesthetic: A small amount of anesthetic is injected to numb the areano general anesthesia required
  • No-Scalpel Procedure: A tiny puncture is made to access the vas deferens without stitches or cutting
  • Sealing the Tubes: The vas deferens are sealed or clipped to prevent sperm from mixing with semen
  • Quick Recovery: Most patients return home immediately and resume light activity within 24–48 hours

Our team will provide you with clear instructions for pre- and post-procedure care to ensure optimal healing and long-term effectiveness.
