FAQ
1. Is vasectomy permanent?
Yes, a vasectomy is considered a permanent form of birth control. Although it is reversible in some cases, the procedure should be considered permanent.
2. How long does the procedure take?
The procedure typically takes about 20-30 minutes and is performed under local anesthesia.
3. Is it painful?
Most patients experience minimal discomfort during the procedure, as local anesthesia is used. Some mild soreness or swelling may occur after the procedure, but it usually resolves within a few days.
4. How long is the recovery time?
Recovery is usually quick. Most men can return to light activities within 1-2 days, but strenuous activity and sexual activity should be avoided for about a week.
5. Will it affect my sexual performance?
No, a vasectomy does not affect sexual drive, performance, or the ability to have erections. The only change is that your semen will no longer contain sperm.
6. How effective is a vasectomy?
A vasectomy is over 99% effective in preventing pregnancy. However, it takes about 8-12 weeks or 15-20 ejaculations to clear out sperm from the semen, so another form of contraception is needed during this period.
7. Are there any risks or side effects?
The risks are minimal but can include infection, bruising, or mild pain at the site. Serious complications are very rare.
8. When can I resume sexual activity?
You can resume sexual activity about a week after the procedure, but you should use contraception until your doctor confirms that your semen is free of sperm.
