Welcome to NexGen Vasectomy - your trusted source for health and medical information.

Before the procedure, you'll meet with our expert team to discuss your medical history, review any potential risks, and answer any questions you may have.
 

To minimize the risk of excessive bleeding, we ask that you avoid taking blood-thinning medications or supplements (such as aspirin, ibuprofen, and vitamin E) for at least 1 week prior to the procedure. If you’re on any prescription blood thinners, please consult with us beforehand.

We recommend that you shave your scrotum (or trim the hair) a day or two before the procedure. This helps reduce the risk of infection and ensures a clean surgical area. Don’t worry—we will also sterilize the area before the procedure begins.

On the day of the procedure, wear loose, comfortable underwear and tight-fitting shorts or briefs to provide support for the scrotum after the surgery. Avoid wearing pants with tight waistbands or anything that may irritate the area.

Since the procedure involves local anesthesia, you should be able to drive yourself home afterward. However, if you are feeling anxious or would simply prefer not to drive, we recommend arranging for a friend or family member to drive you to and from the clinic.

You’ll be able to return home after the procedure, but it’s a good idea to arrange for some time off work or other physical activities for at least 1–2 days. Plan to rest and avoid heavy lifting or strenuous exercise during your recovery.

Eat a light meal before your appointment, as it may help you feel more comfortable. If you’re feeling nervous, something light like a snack can help settle your stomach. Avoid heavy, greasy foods that could make you feel uncomfortable.

• You’ll arrive at our clinic, where you’ll be checked in and guided to a private room to prepare.
• Our friendly staff will review your consent forms and ensure you’re comfortable before we begin.

• To ensure your comfort, we will apply local anesthesia to numb the area around your scrotum.
• The anesthesia is injected with a very fine needle, and while you may feel a slight sting, it is quick and the discomfort is minimal.
• Once the area is numb, you will not feel pain, but may experience some pressure during the procedure.

• Unlike traditional vasectomy methods, we use the no-scalpel technique, which requires no incisions or stitches.
• Instead, we create a tiny, pinhole-sized opening in the skin of your scrotum using a specialized tool.
• Through this small opening, we gently access the vas deferens (the tubes that carry sperm) and seal or cut them to prevent sperm from mixing with semen.

• We’ll either cut or cauterize (seal) the vas deferens to block the flow of sperm. This is done carefully and precisely to minimize bleeding.
• The no-scalpel approach reduces the risk of complications like infection or bleeding, and most patients feel minimal discomfort during this step.

• Once both sides are completed, the tiny puncture is closed naturally without the need for stitches.
• The procedure is quick and typically doesn’t require any bandages. We’ll clean and dress the area to ensure you’re ready to go.

• Before you leave, we’ll check to ensure there’s no immediate bleeding or discomfort. You’ll be able to get dressed and we’ll provide aftercare instructions.

• Take it easy after the procedure. Rest at home for the first 24 hours, and avoid any strenuous activity.
• Elevate your feet and keep the scrotum supported with loose, comfortable underwear or a jockstrap to reduce swelling and discomfort.
• Avoid long periods of standing or walking during the first day. Light movement is fine, but no heavy lifting or vigorous exercise for at least 48 hours.

• Apply an ice pack or cold compress to the scrotum for 15-20 minutes every hour during the first 24 hours to reduce swelling and bruising.
• Be sure to place a cloth between the ice and your skin to prevent frostbite.

• Most men feel mild discomfort or tenderness after the procedure. You can manage this with over-the-counter pain relievers like ibuprofen (Advil) or acetaminophen (Tylenol).
• Avoid aspirin as it may increase the risk of bleeding.
• Always follow the dosage instructions provided by your healthcare provider.

• For the first few days, avoid getting the incision area wet. You can gently clean the area with mild soap and water after 24 hours, but do not soak the area in a bath or swimming pool for at least 1 week.
• If there's any bandaging, change it daily and keep the area dry.

• It’s important to wear tight-fitting underwear or a jockstrap for the first 1–2 weeks after the procedure. This provides support and reduces the risk of swelling or injury.
• Avoid loose or uncomfortable clothing that could rub against the treated area

While the no-scalpel vasectomy is a safe procedure, here are signs to watch out for:

• Increased pain or swelling that doesn’t improve after a few days
• Redness, warmth, or drainage from the puncture site (may indicate an infection)
• Fever or chills
• Sharp or intense pain in the testicles (persistent testicular pain is rare, but can occur in some cases)

• Rest: Avoid heavy exercise or activities that could strain your body (such as lifting, running, or cycling) for at least 1 week.
• Sexual activity: Refrain from intercourse or ejaculation for 1 week to allow your body to heal. It’s important to follow up with a semen analysis (typically after 12 weeks) to confirm that no sperm are present in your semen.

• We recommend a follow-up appointment in about 1 week to check your recovery and ensure there are no complications.
• After 12 weeks, you will need a semen analysis to confirm that your sperm count has dropped to zero.
