How To Prepare Before Vasectomy

Vasectomy

Vasectomy is the most reliable form of birth control available today. The term “vasectomy” comes from the name of the tubes in your scrotum that are blocked during the procedure. It is a painless procedure that takes less than 30 minutes to perform. There is no effect on erections, sex drive, or feeling in the penis. The vasectomy cost varies and depends on where you get it, what kind you get.

Vasectomy is a big move in life. Knowing how to prepare for vasectomy before taking the procedure helps a lot.

The Decision

Choosing a Doctor

Firstly, and most importantly, at the consultation take the opportunity to check on the doctors experience. You may not know that a Doctor is able to perform vasectomy with minimal training. Because it’s regarded as a simple procedure, they only need to be present for a handful of procedures, and do a few procedures under supervision to be deemed competent.

Precautions Against Infection

Ask what precautions will be taken to insure against post-operative infection. All instruments used should of course be sterilized. Will the doctor and assisting personnel wear surgical masks? Will you be given an antibiotic series to take afterwards? If you will be given antibiotics to take, be sure you know whether there are any special instructions for taking the antibiotics. Also, share with the doctor any information you have about past negative experiences with antibiotics.
