What happens before, during and after a vasectomy❓
➡️ Consultation and preparation: Before your appointment, you will have a consultation on the phone with a nurse "or doctor" to discuss your medical history and how to prepare for your procedure.
➡️ Local anaesthesia /IV Sedation: The doctor will either use local anaesthesia to numb the area or will administer IV sedation depending on your agreed chosen pain-relief.
➡️ No Scalpel Vasectomy procedure: The doctor will make a small opening in the skin of your scrotum to access your vas deferens and close the upper end. No external stitches are required for this method. The procedure takes about 20 to 30 minutes.
➡️ Post-procedure care and sperm tests: You’ll receive instructions on how to care for the area, manage pain, and avoid activities that could cause complications. You will also need to provide a semen test after 3 months to confirm that sperm are no longer present.
