What is the vasectomy procedure? How long does it take?

Vasectomy Procedure

First go to your doctor. They will send you to a family planning clinic or hospital where the consultant will question you again as to whether you are sure that you want a vasectomy. They will go on your age, existing family and marital status. Although a vasectomy MAY be reversable you must view it as being final. It must be given serious consideration as you cannot see into the future. If you tick all the right boxes you will eventually be given a date for the opertion. This is usually carried out under a local anaesthetic. You will experiece a 'tugging and a pulling' a bit more that the dentists filling, but in a different location!!. They will keep you in the outpatients under day care until you feel ok to leave. They will let you leave with a friend to accompany you and not driving!! For the next day or two you may feel as though you have played against Phil Vickery 'down there', but it is not unbearable. You will have to submit sperm for a few weeks to ensure you are able to 'fire blanks' Normally about 6 weeks. Alo believe it or not, you will be checked before the op. to make sure you don't have 3 testicles, it is possible and they will need to snip all three in that case! Good Luck. I have had it done.
