No Scalpel Vasectomy

 Safe
 Simple
 Highly Effective
 Birth Control for Men

Vasectomy is a minor surgical procedure that prevents sperm from being transported from testicles to the penis. It is a safe, simple and more effective birth control method than female sterilisation. Millions of men all over the world have had this procedure.

Vasectomy does not alter male characteristics. Hormonal and sexual functions are unaffected. Sperm are still produced in the testicles, but are absorbed by the body. Sexual drive, erections and ejaculation remain the same.

A vasectomy should be considered permanent. It is suitable for people who have completed their families or have decided not to have children. Consider your decision fully and carefully. You should not have a vasectomy to please someone else.

How is it done?

In conventional vasectomy, one or two cuts are made in the scrotal skin with a scalpel blade. Two vas deferns (sperm tubes) are exposed, cut and sealed. The skin cuts are closed with stitches.

No Scalpel vasectomy is a procedure which utilizes special instruments to puncture scrotal skin and draw vas deferns through the skin puncture to be cut and cauterized (sealed). No skin stitches are required.

It is a significant improvement over the conventional technique.

No scalpel vasectomy has grown in popularity with both doctors and patients.

Benefits of No Scalpel Vasectomy

• Less invasive
• Less painful
• Less bleeding and bruising
• Shorter recovery time
• No stitches

Is it effective Immediately?

No it is not. There are still large numbers of live sperm remaining in the vas deferns. It is recommended to have two seminal tests at 8 weeks and 10 weeks after the procedure to confirm no more live sperm are in your seminal fluid. Until this happens, you or your partner should continue to use other forms of birth control.

What are the complications?

Vasectomy is a low risk procedure but complications are possible and they are as follows:

• Allergic reactions to drugs
• Bleeding
• Infection
• Sperm Granuloma - sometimes sperm leak from the cut end of the vas deferns which may cause a painful lump. This usually resolves over time.

After Vasectomy Pain Syndrome

Most men who undergo a vasectomy have no difficulties. About 1:10,000 cases may develop a long standing testicular pain and this is likely due to back pressure build up.
