Vasectomy
A vasectomy is a quick procedure that blocks the right and left vas deferral tubes. The doctor locates the tubes under the skin and holds them in place with a small clamp. The doctor makes one tiny puncture with a special instrument that delivers local anesthesia. It creates a high-pressure spray that allows the anesthetic agent to penetrate the scrotal skin without causing pain.
However, this advanced vasectomy technique prioritizes your comfort and is 99% effective at preventing pregnancies. Bypassing traditional scalpels and needles remarkably reduces anxiety and discomfort. This method also minimizes tissue trauma, which leads to quicker recovery and reduced post-operative discomfort and pain. This cutting-edge approach signifies our commitment to providing the most convenient and efficient vasectomy experience.

These are the questions that we face more often! But every individual has its own concerns so please feel free to reach out to us if you have any doubt!
Is the Procedure covered by Alberta Health Care?
Yes, the vasectomy procedure is typically covered by Alberta Health Care, making it an accessible option for most residents of Edmonton and Alberta. Coverage includes the consultation, the procedure itself, and the follow-up care needed to confirm its success. Our clinic is happy to assist you with any questions about the coverage process to ensure you are fully informed before your appointment. If you have Alberta Health Care coverage, there is no need to worry about out-of-pocket expenses for the vasectomy procedure.
Does a vasectomy affect sexual performance or hormone levels?
No, a vasectomy does not affect testosterone levels, sexual desire, erections, libido or sexual performance. It only prevents sperm from being part of the semen.Most men find no change in their sexual performance or enjoyment after the procedure.
What do I feel during my Vasectomy in Edmonton?
Most individuals experience minimal discomfort during the procedure because it’s done under local anesthesia. You may feel some pressure or pulling, but pain is rare. After the procedure, mild soreness or swelling can occur, which typically resolves within a few days.
Most individuals can return to work within 1–2 days, depending on the physical demands of their job. Avoid heavy lifting or strenuous exercise for about a week to allow proper healing.
How Effective is a Vasectomy?
A vasectomy in Edmonton is over 99% effective at preventing pregnancy. However, it takes about 3 months or 20 ejaculations to clear existing sperm from the reproductive system. During this time, you’ll need to use another form of contraception.
Can a vasectomy be reversed?
Yes and no! A vasectomy can be reversed if you wish to. However, the success rate of a reversal depends on numerous factors, including the time elapsed since the original vasectomy, the surgical technique used for the vasectomy, and the individual’s overall health. So in general lines, it is considered a permanent birth control option.
