Sometimes are patients tell us that they have reviewed the entire website but maybe it was a while ago or they forgot or maybe they just want quick vasectomy facts before coming in. With that being said, here are the 6 things you must know before your vasectomy!
It takes a minimum of 20 ejaculations and 12 weeks for the sperm stored in the seminal vesicle and along the reproductive tract to be completely evacuated!
Not only is vasectomy safer than tubal ligation and able to be tested in perpetuity down the road with ongoing semen analysis, the failure rates are lower. Despite this, rates of tubal ligation in North America and around the world are still high. The complications of a failed tubal ligation includes an ectopic pregnancy – a significant cause of maternal death around the world. Having said that, a vasectomy is not perfect either and carries a small chance of failure.
If you are afraid of needles, we got you covered! Using a spray applicator, we can provide anesthesia using air pressure without any sharp needles entering the scrotum. Other benefits to this include less time spent controlling bleeding so less time on the table and less anxiety also means less tightness in the scrotum so that the procedure goes more smoothly .

Don’t freak out. Sperm is still produced in the testes after the vasectomy, but it’s tiny amounts. The real gunky stuff when a man ejaculates is the semen, and this is produced safely away from the nutsack in the seminal vesicle and prostate gland. Who would’ve known right? So after a vasectomy a man will still ejaculate the same volume of semen, but not baby-making sperm.
