Vasectomy Procedure

Aftercare and Recovery

Recovery is typically quick and straightforward. Most men return to light activity within 1–2 days. Here’s what you can expect:

• Wear snug underwear or an athletic supporter for the first week
• You can ice the area for (15 min of icing every hour) for the first few hours if desired, but you don’t have to.
• Avoid strenuous activity, lifting, or sex for about 5–7 days
• Mild soreness or swelling is common and manageable with over-the-counter pain relief (acetaminophen and ibuprofen)

You’ll receive detailed post-procedure instructions to follow at home.

Follow-Up: Semen Test for Confirmation

To confirm the success of the vasectomy, you’ll need to complete a semen analysis 12 weeks after the procedure. We use a convenient mail-in testing system through an independent lab (PVSA.org). Detailed instructions will be provided after appointment.:

• Order kit through PVSA.org
• This is a separate fee of $50, paid to the lab
• You will be shipped a collection kit with instructions
• Return sample in prepaid container
• You will be notified of results, can take 10-12 days
• About 1 in 20 men need to repeat the sample, typically this is done after waiting at least 4-6 additional weeks, if this is the case you will be contacted by our office to answer any questions

This final step gives you peace of mind that the procedure has worked.
