Why consider a vasectomy?
A vasectomy is one of the most effective permanent forms of contraception. It may be suitable for men who are certain they do not want children or do not wish to have any more children.
During the procedure, the tubes that carry sperm from the testicles are divided and sealed. This prevents sperm from entering the semen and removes the ability to father a child.
For many men and couples, a vasectomy provides long-term peace of mind and removes the need to rely on temporary contraception such as condoms or hormonal birth control.
Because a vasectomy should be considered permanent, it is important to be confident that it is the right decision for you before proceeding.
A simple approach to permanent contraception
A vasectomy allows men to take an active role in family planning. It may also mean their partner no longer needs to use hormonal contraception or consider a more invasive permanent procedure.
A vasectomy does not affect your testosterone levels, sex drive, erections or sexual performance. Following recovery, everything should feel the same, apart from your ability to father a child.
It is a one-off procedure with relatively little downtime. However, you will need to continue using contraception until your follow-up sperm test confirms that no sperm are present.
Does a vasectomy hurt?
A local anaesthetic is used during the no-scalpel vasectomy procedure, meaning most men experience little or no pain while it is being carried out.
Some tenderness, bruising or swelling may occur during the first few days following the procedure. This can usually be managed with rest and standard over-the-counter pain relief, as advised by your doctor.
Most people return to their usual day-to-day activities within approximately one week, although recovery times can vary.
When are vasectomies performed?
Vasectomy procedures at Bush Road Vasectomy are carried out on Friday mornings. This gives you the weekend to rest and begin recovering before returning to work.
Those with physically demanding or manual jobs may need to arrange light duties or take additional time away from work.
Following your procedure, you should avoid:
- Heavy lifting
- Strenuous physical activity
- Swimming
- Intense exercise
These activities should generally be avoided for around seven to ten days, or for as long as advised by your doctor.
You will also receive Dr Loo’s personal phone number following the procedure, so you can make contact if you have concerns or experience any complications during your recovery.
