A vasectomy is a popular form of sterilization and a relatively quick procedure with short recovery time.

Quick facts:

  • A vasectomy takes about 30 minutes.
  • Most forms of insurance cover it (but always ask to be sure).
  • You’ll be awake through the procedure, but your urologist will use a local anesthetic so there is no pain.
  • After the procedure, there is usually some minor swelling and bruising. This typically goes away in a few days. Your urologist will likely advise you to wear tight or supportive underwear to keep the swelling down. He or she will also likely advise you to avoid strenuous activities for a couple of days.
