Will my sex life be affected?
No! Sexual desire, erections, performance, sensation, and hormone levels are unchanged after a vasectomy. Sperm generally make up less than 5% of the ejaculate volume, so ejaculation itself should not be noticeably different after a vasectomy.
What happens to the sperm produced after a vasectomy?
The body absorbs the sperm produced after a vasectomy - a process that already occurs naturally to many of the sperm produced by men even before a vasectomy.
What is a conventional vasectomy?
In a conventional vasectomy, the urologist makes one or two small incisions (cuts) in the scrotum to access the vas deferens (the tubes that carry sperm). The vas deferens is then cut, and a small section may be removed. The ends are then either tied off or sealed with heat (cauterized). This process is repeated on the other vas deferens. The incisions may be closed with dissolvable stitches or allowed to heal naturally.
What is a no-scalpel vasectomy?
A no-scalpel vasectomy is the same as a traditional vasectomy but utilizes a special technique and instruments to perform the procedure through a single small puncture in the scrotum. The skin opening is so small no stitches are needed. The success rate is the same as a conventional vasectomy. UroPartners offers both vasectomy options.

What are the risks?
As a minor surgical procedure, a vasectomy is associated with small risk of bleeding, infection, and pain. Significant bleeding or infection is rare (less than 1%). Persistent post vasectomy pain is also a rare complication that usually resolves with time and ibuprofen.
There do not appear to be any long-term health risks associated with a vasectomy.
Is a vasectomy effective immediately?
No, the vasectomy is not effective until all stored sperm are cleared from the semen. This usually takes at least 3 months and/or 20 ejaculates. We confirm that all sperm are gone from the semen after a vasectomy before clearing men to stop other forms of contraception.
Is a vasectomy covered by insurance?
Yes, most insurance plans cover a vasectomy. We can work with you and your insurance company to find out how much a vasectomy would be with your specific plan. At UroPartners, we help estimate any costs and/or out-of-pocket expenses, if any. Arrangements are available for those without insurance coverage.

Can a vasectomy be reversed?
Yes, a vasectomy can be reversed. However, a vasectomy reversal is a complex microsurgical procedure that is expensive and not 100% successful. Therefore, couples should consider a vasectomy to be permanent when making their decision.
