Vasectomy

A vasectomy is a minor surgical procedure designed to prevent a man from fathering children by blocking the tubes that transport sperm from the testicles. Nationally, it is a very commonly performed procedure with over 500,000 requests per year, and is a popular method of male birth control.

A vasectomy does not change a man's sex drive, ability to have erections, or lead to prostate cancer.

Dr. Mistry utilizes the no needle, no scalpel vasectomy (NSV) technique, which results in improved recovery and less pain. This procedure is performed in the office, with a mild oral sedative and local anesthetic.

It is important to note that the results of a vasectomy are not immediate and several semen samples may be necessary to confirm the success of the procedure before other forms of contraception can be stopped.

The decision to have a vasectomy is an important one that should be fully discussed with your doctor and family.
