Vasectomy is a simple, safe and effective form of permanent birth control. The testicles produce sperm that travel through a tube called the vas deferens or ‘vas’. The vas continues to travel through the prostate before joining with the vas on the other side to become the urethra, which exits through the penis. A vasectomy will disrupt the vas tubes, which then prevents the entry of sperm into the semen. The volume, appearance and consistency of the semen after the procedure remains unchanged as sperm make up only a very small percentage of semen volume.

The vasectomy is performed in approximately 10 minutes under local anesthetic; with your total clinic visit time being under one hour.
