What is a vasectomy?

Vasectomy is a very safe contraceptive method that is performed on an outpatient basis and with local anesthesia.

In the procedure, the vas deferens are tied, which are the pathway through which spermatozoa pass into semen.

This procedure does not affect sexual function or the amount of semen.

What vasectomy techniques are there?

There is a scalpel and no scalpel, in Prostasur Mérida, urologists perform the procedure without a scalpel as it provides less risk of infection and less pain.

How long should I wait to have sex without a condom with my partner?

It is important to emphasize that after the vasectomy sperm will no longer pass into the duct, however it is important to clean the other end of the duct to ensure that the duct is clear of sperm.

These are normally expelled in 2-3 months after 20 to 25 ejaculations, so it is necessary to count a semen sample at 3 months to demonstrate the absence of sperm.

Is a vasectomy reversible?

It is possible and it is more effective the less time has passed after the vasectomy. At Prostasur Mérida we perform the procedure through microsurgery. This procedure is performed in the operating room using a special microscope and sutures that are thinner than a hair to reattach the different ones.
