Vasectomy

What is a private vasectomy?

A private vasectomy is a surgical procedure for male sterilisation. It involves cutting or blocking the vas deferens, the tubes that carry sperm from the testicles to the urethra for ejaculation. By disrupting the flow of sperm, vasectomy renders a man sterile, preventing pregnancy when engaging in sexual intercourse. Vasectomy is considered a permanent method of contraception, although it can sometimes be reversed.

What are the advantages of a vasectomy?

A vasectomy offers several key advantages as a contraceptive choice. Its exceptional effectiveness, boasting a success rate of over 99%, ensures reliable permanent contraception, eliminating the risk of unintended pregnancies. Unlike many other contraceptive methods involving hormonal changes, such as birth control pills or injections, vasectomy leaves the body's hormonal balance untouched, minimising the likelihood of side effects like mood swings or weight gain. While considered a permanent solution, the option of vasectomy reversal exists, although success is variable and not guaranteed. Careful consideration of its permanence is crucial for those contemplating this form of contraception. Get in touch to learn more about the benefits of the procedure and our private vasectomy price.

What are the potential risks?

A private vasectomy is generally safe and low risk, but potential complications may include infection, bleeding, hematoma (collection of blood in the scrotum), chronic pain (post-vasectomy pain syndrome), and very rarely, recanalisation (reconnection of the vas deferens). As with any surgical procedure, there are inherent risks associated with anaesthesia and surgical complications.

What happens after a private vasectomy?

Following a private vasectomy, it's common to experience some discomfort, swelling, and minor bruising in the scrotal area. Patients are typically advised to rest at home for a couple of days and avoid strenuous activities for about a week to allow the body to heal properly. Our consultants will give you all the information you need on how to manage any discomfort and effectively promote healing.

Our procedures

At Get Well Soon we specialise in elective procedures. Elective surgery is different from urgent or emergency surgery, where the patient’s life might be in danger.
However, we understand that for many patients, these conditions
can often be debilitating and painful.

Elective procedures are often the sort of operations that the NHS are unable to prioritise, so seeing a doctor privately may be the only way you can have your
condition treated quickly.
