Vasectomies in Miami
If you’re ready to experience the liberation of a vasectomy, the best choice is the non-surgical vasectomy that we perform here at the Perito Clinic. This method is faster, less painful, and less invasive than a traditional vasectomy, with shorter downtime and a lower risk of complication. Both functionally and aesthetically speaking, the Perito Clinic is one of the leading providers of penile and urological men’s health services in the nation.
QUICK, EASY, PERMANENT BIRTH CONTROL FOR MEN
A vasectomy is a simple surgery that can be performed in an office, hospital, or clinic. The small tubes in your scrotum that carry sperm are cut or blocked off, so sperm can’t leave your body and cause pregnancy. The procedure is very quick, and you can go home the same day. And it’s extremely effective at preventing pregnancy — almost 100%.
A vasectomy (male sterilization) is a surgical procedure to cut or seal the tubes that carry a man’s sperm to permanently prevent pregnancy. We utilize the minimally invasive “No Scalpel” vasectomy technique wherein we incorporate a special set of instruments to minimize trauma.
It’s usually carried out under local anesthetic, where you’re awake but don’t feel any pain. The procedure itself takes about 15 minutes.
In rare cases, you may have a general anesthetic, where you’re asleep during the operation.
- A vasectomy is more than 99% effective.
- It’s considered permanent; once it’s done you don’t have to think about contraception again.
- It doesn’t affect your sex drive or ability to enjoy sex. You’ll still have erections and ejaculate, but your ejaculate won’t contain sperm.
- You’ll need to use contraception for at least 8 to 12 weeks after the operation because sperm will still be in the tubes leading to the penis. Some patients opt to bring in their 21st ejaculate after a vasectomy for evaluation allowing them to not need to wait the minimum of 8 weeks.
- Up to 2 semen tests are done after the operation to make sure that no measurable sperm are viable.
- Your scrotum may become bruised, swollen, or painful – some men have ongoing pain in their testicles.
- As with any surgery, there’s a small risk of infection and hematoma.
- It’s very difficult to reverse, so be sure it’s right for you.
- A vasectomy doesn’t protect against sexually transmitted infections (STIs), so you may need to use condoms as well.
WHAT IS THE RECOVERY AFTER A VASECTOMY?
You should plan to bring tight-fitting underwear with you to your procedure so you can put them on immediately after. This can help support the area throughout your recovery time. It’s best to give yourself two to three days to rest and recover, and anticipate limiting your activity level (physical and sexual) during this time. Depending on the patient, you will have a small cut or incision in the scrotal area that will heal well. It’s normal to have swelling and discomfort which can be managed using ice packs or bags of frozen peas. You can also manage it with ibuprofen, and you’ll be given instructions on how much to take and when.
It’s extremely important to avoid having unprotected intercourse for the first few weeks and to maximize your recovery time. This is because sperm will still be present in the tubes and will need to be flushed out completely before you’re considered sterile. Make sure to ejaculate at least 20 times before having unprotected intercourse. A semen analysis after this will confirm that there are no sperm present in your ejaculate. Not following these directions can result in unwanted pregnancy. Your urologist can check for sperm in your semen after your procedure to confirm that your procedure was successful.
