A vasectomy is a quick, simple and safe procedure that can be performed in a doctor's office or clinic under local anesthesia. Instead of making incisions with a scalpel, a specialised instrument is used to make a small puncture in the skin of the scrotum. The vas deferens, the tube that carries sperm from the testicles to the urethra, is then located and blocked or cut, which prevents sperm from being released during ejaculation.

The non-surgical vasectomy procedure is generally well-tolerated and has a faster recovery time compared to traditional surgical vasectomy, making it a popular choice for men seeking a permanent form of contraception.

The entire appointment takes no longer than 30 minutes.
